Tim Fearnside, Boise, Idaho, USA.
Welcome, and thanks for checking out my blog 🙂
About me: I’m a husband, nearly-fully-recovered lawyer, and father of two wonderful daughters. I live in the lower foothills of the Rocky Mountains in beautiful Boise, Idaho, along with our basset hound, “Daphne.” I recently completed my debut novel, Lucky Haskins, and have begun seeking a home for it in print.
About my blog: My blog has been inactive for several years; however, is about to undergo a bit of a makeover, and become active again in a new format. The new site will be centered around writing, my book, and my other creative pursuits. It may still include occasional political and general-interest content, however, its focus will be more writing-centric. Whether you’re new to the site or someone who’s followed me since the beginning, I hope you’ll stick around. I’d love to have you along for the new journey.
Thanks, stay tuned, and best regards! – Tim
Hi Timothy, read your opinion in the Statesman today and thought it was GREAT. I hope when other people read it they will step out of the shadows too. I met my first gay person in 1971. He was my boss at San Francisco State U. He was brilliant and hilarious and came out to me a year later. We traveled to Greece together a couple of times and I met many other gay people – men and women – through him. I also learned of the horror they faced through aids and the cruelty of the straight community during that terrible time. Some of the stories I heard were heartbreaking and helped to form my understanding that while there were many people different from me in so many ways – black, gay, asian, hispanic, etc. – they were all people and deserved respect and acceptance. Anyway, thanks for stepping up and writing this. Lesley
Lesley – thanks so much for reading it and passing along these thoughts. I really appreciate it :). I also hope it might encourage others to examine their own shadows, so that we can all keep moving forward in the direction of tolerance and respect. Best, T
Hi, Tim, First, thanks for following our blog, buster’stwocents.com. I, Buster’s old pappy, read your blog on the authoritarian aspects of The Donald’s phenomenon, and enjoyed it very much. I will follow your blog, also.
Thanks, Walt – I appreciate it! I trust that Buster will be following, as well (?). ‘Nice write-up in the Statesman Sunday. I need to get a copy of your books!
Best regards, and see you around the Market one of these days.
