Nope, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth… I’m in the middle of RA training, just like I have been every August for the past 7 years.

I’ve decided I’ve probably come to the end of the road as a hall director. I just don’t have the energy anymore to keep up with the students. Once I manage to open my building for the start of the school year, I’ll start polishing my resume and exploring other career options in Student Affairs or Higher Education for the next academic year. Come next summer, hopefully I’ll move in with Jeff in Jersey City (after 11 years in campus housing).

On Thursday (Aug 26) this blog will turn 5 years old, and in 18 days I’ll turn 30.

I’m always amazed when people are shocked by the announcement of something widely known as an open secret. I knew for years that Rosie O’Donnell was a lesbian, but middle America still did a spit take.

“My truth is that I am a gay American.” — Gov. James E. McGreevey.

Jeff’s been telling me for months about Jersey’s governor and his “aide,” so it’s been amusing to see all his political colleagues on TV proclaim their shock and surprise.

Like many in the gay community, I’m conflicted about his announcement (congrats on coming out, he shouldn’t step down just because he’s gay, he’s trying to gain sympathy to cover a deeper scandal…). But while some are harping on his use of “My truth” instead of “The truth,”I think the more interesting word choice is “gay American.” Prior to 9/11, I wonder if he would have felt the same need to wrap himself in the flag?

I’m quoted in this AP article, apearing in newspapers around the country (including USA Today).

Matt Kingston, who moved to Manhattan last year, finds the Gothamist “helpful to get up to speed as to what’s hip and what’s going on in New York City.”

A year later, I may not be particularly hip; but I still think Gothamist is the best thing since sliced bread.
