OPPOSITE TRUTHS

So many things we believe to be true are exactly the opposite of the truth. People who want to stay younger-looking think that crows feet on their eyes make them look older and practice not smiling as much to avoid wrinkling. (true fools turn to Botox.) The fact is, it…

THE IMPOSSIBLE

Most of the desired goals I had seemed absurd, impossible and, at most, improbable at the time they were conceived. At 45, as a gay man, I had an epiphany and wanted to have children. At 47, my mother died and I woke up to a $678,000 inheritance tax that…
