"Lessons Learned from a Trip to Sacramento" (Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday weekend):
1) Sacramento is a pretty quiet town, but has its charm.
2) Downtown Sacramento has some really beautiful houses that I might be able to afford and have a place to call my own.
3) I could have a dog. (Jessie and I went to PetSmart to buy his kitten some supplies. You can take your dog in with you if you go. I could take my dog with me if I went and had a dog. I want a dog.)
4) There is a place for people to go who are obsessed with donuts.
5) Jessie is one of those donut-obsessed people.
6) Toilets have their own website.
7) The gay community is small, but definitely exists. It even has a community center. The local publication is entitled Outword.
8) The great thing about going to smaller communities as it relates to gay life is that the gay bars/clubs are much more open to regular people. When you go to a gay club, you see everyone there; not just circuit boys. Regular people, old people, fat people, big people, small people, men, women, transgender, thin people, people with no fashion sense, all kinds of people. The attitude of the San Francisco gay community is so stifling to regular people's attendance. Smaller cities thrive on anyone/everyone who is gay that everyone is welcome to be a part of all aspects of the community. That is refreshing!
9) There's a cozy little gay bookstore in town.
10) The state capitol is beautiful and I'm glad I got to see it before the truck ran into it two days after I was there.
11) I missed San Francisco and I can't imagine life with my dear sweet Jessie.
12) I can't decide what I want to do with my life. Move to Sacramento. Stay in San Francisco. Become someone else. Gain 300 pounds. Travel the world. Work in a totally different field. Who knows...........
