Overt Homosexuality!
Not much to report today, except that I’ve taken on a new AOL screen name: TinMan1973JC. No longer TinMan25NJ; that’s because I haven’t been 25 for almost two years, and, well, JC (“Jersey City”) is more specific than NJ (self-explanatory).
Oh — check out the New York Times’s special section celebrating the paper’s 150th anniversary. Lots of interesting articles, including an imagining of the paper’s first day, written by Michael Chabon, and lots more articles of interest to those fond of grand history and obscure arcana, as I am. My favorite old headline, a reprint of which accompanies an article on civil rights by Anna Quindlen (in the paper edition, at least):
In City Provokes Wide Concern
It’s from the mid-1960s.
Overt homosexuality! Good lord. This city’s gone to the dogs.
Anyway, I have the sniffles and a scratchy throat, so I’m going to bed. Nite.
