More about Michael:"A Coungry Boy from WV with a Country boy from NC, 23 soon to be 24 years together. STEADFAST, TRIED, TRUE, & Loving. Super models no, but just real people that like you for the person you are, not what you do or what you have.
I never set out to be a Warrior for Social Justice, it just rather happened. I went to a Neighborhood Association Meeting & one thing let to a dozen. My partner and I have live a VERY public life, 2 of 10 who helped form the FIRST State Wide GLBT WV Gay Pride March and Festival at the WV STATE Capital of Charleston, WV.
I tried living 2 lives and in the end, an unsigned letter cost me a job and my partner a broken heart. We are as opposite as the EAST from the WEST. He is the thinker, I am Emotion, Passion and off the hip. He pulls me back and I pull him forward. Its such a good thing and I would be the first to admit, he is my rock, my foundation and like in that some from the Movie Beaches, the Wind Beneath my Wings.
I am an active Democrat. Not for what a few don't represent but the original founding Party precepts of Equality, Fairness, the Christian attributes of Charity and giving everyone a chance to rise as high as they can dream.
We have a way to big house in Teays Valley, a bedroom community just about 20 minutes west of Charleston. 1/2 way between the States 2nd largest City, Huntington, home of Marshall University a...Expand for more
nd Yes the same as in the sad story of "WE ARE MARSHALL".
After 23 years of our relationship we have evolved and I am grateful that we have changed for the better we think. We figured out that things wont fill a void, that we changed as a couple and as individuals in our attitudes and as I like to say, do our best to keep an Open mind.
Michael, well I am "radically" honest and full of energy and well that gets me into trouble sometimes. Neal, is very quiet, talented, creative, but once he gets to know you, he is like a long lost friend.
We are simply who we are and if we like you, its not because of your job, where you live, or what you have. Like Millions of Americans the economy has been hard on us. Me in particular, I have a degernative disc issue with my back and its been hard, my last company who like every other I gave my heart and soul to, gave me the ax in 4/2010. I do pretty good, but like allot of us, I am not going to say age is just a number, but its made me take stock of my life and my partner as well.
So we are now out of the spot light, I write some, post a good bit on Facebook and for our State Electronic Gay News Source WV QNews.
We have a 29 foot travel trailer/RV we love to camp, can't do it like we used to, but when we can, we love a CRUISE! CARIBEAN 19 so far, so feel free to ask. We have a timeshare in Orlando around GAY DAYS and hits a blast. We have a big 2 bedroom unit and we have been lucky to take allot of friends over the years.
I am helping to take care of my mom and Neal helps with his in NC. We are an OPEN BOOK Type of Relationship. We'd not mind another companion, but thats a chapter yet to be written.
Hope you enjoy my posts and if not, don't suffer by any means, I am fortunate to have FB Friends from around the globe, but feel free to leave if you find the subject covered not to your liking.
From Star Trek, We wish you ALL, to LIVE LONG and PROSPER! Hugs Michael & Neal".
