DC Tourist

On October 16, 2021October 16, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Mild regret: even though Washington, DC was 'the city' where I grew up, and an easy 20 minute drive from my childhood home, I never actually lived in the city and never really got to know it. It's confusing enough in its layout that I always got lost when I drove there. (I thought it …

High School Reunion

On October 11, 2021October 11, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Hey, it's National Coming Out Day! As I posted on FB and Twitter, coming out of the closet was a milestone I had to achieve in order to finally become an adult. Allowing myself to pursue intimate relationships opened up an emotional range that was... well, I've said this before, but there's some old SF …

Mom’s Ceremony

On September 28, 2021September 28, 2021 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

Followup to The Scattering Once the boat was anchored, we shared reminiscences and stories. My brother had written a piece, which he shared, but I will not, as it was very personal. (He might want to share it himself.) But there were also poems and photos and a song shared. My aunt read Do Not …

I Celebrate the Me Yet to Come

On September 26, 2021September 26, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Oh, hey, this looks different, don't it? Yep. Yesterday was my birthday and I decided to push the Saturday chores to Sunday, take the day off and do webpage stuff. I'd wanted to combine my mostly unused website The Toast Point Page and my blog into one site, plus point to my old blog and …

Cape May, Part 3

On September 23, 2021 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

Finally, our last full day in Cape May, we had a day that was closer to the ideal beach vacation day than the others. It was still pretty weird, but nice, too. Leisurely wake-up and clean-up. C decided we should go to breakfast at Uncle Bill's Pancake House, fine with me. We drove over there. …

Cape May, Part 2

On September 21, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

We'd known going in that Thursday's forecast was rain all day, so we weren't sure what we were going to do. However, in the morning, it was cloudy and a bit 'spitty', but not really raining. OK. I hung out on the balcony writing and reading while C watched TV, then we went to breakfast …

Cape May, Part 1

On September 20, 2021September 20, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Some housekeeping: I've got a ton to blog about, feel like I'm way behind, and haven't been blogging 'enough' anyway. As always, I'm torn between the feeling I'm documenting my life for an Eric Peterson museum no one will ever visit, and the desire to get it down before I forget it. Well, keep on …

The Scattering

On September 9, 2021September 28, 2021 By Eric Peterson1 Comment

So, this is how it's supposed to work. I'm sitting on my hotel balcony with coffee looking out at the ocean. It's a little chilly, very cloudy, supposed to rain today, but the al fresco-y setting to sit and write is what I should always have (in my head, anyway) and don't at home. Anyway... …

Putting Paid to Summer

On September 1, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Lots going on, actually. Two weekends ago (Friday, actually), C and I went up to Beacon, NY to visit our family. Back up, actually, because we'd just been there a month earlier to visit younger niece Allison. But older niece Samantha, with husband and kids and Rusty the dog, were coming in from St. Paul …

Summer proceeds apace

On August 14, 2021 By Eric PetersonLeave a comment

Apace of what, I wonder? Hmmm, been a while. What's been going on? Work has been busy, and there's definitely some imposter syndrome going on, but I hit my first year anniversary this week and then got some very validating news, so that makes me super happy. We're going to be 'back to the office' …
