All about Me: TODAY

Terry Minton - 2006

Today it's not all about me.

It's about a world being threatened by

the war-mongering of the Theocratic Cowboy

who is illegally occupying the Oval Office.

As I write this on the first day of 2005,

I'm doing well. I love my job, I've

achieved a certain level of contentment

with myself and with my life, and with my

openness to what fate brings me.

As of October, 2007, all that (and more)

holds true. I'm in a very good relationship

with a most unlikely guy. Erich's a math

professor with a PhD. in physics from

U.C.Berkeley. He's a *cough* few *cough*

years younger than I and grew up

Republican in a California suburb.

and

Age twenty,

at a park in

Blackwell,

Oklahoma

in 1973, the

last summer

I lived there.

As a politically conscious

citizen, I'm concerned and

angry about the fact that the

White House is being illegally

occupied by a half-witted

theocrat and his criminal

cohorts. Looking forward

to his inevitable downfall.

CLICK on the "WORRY" button if you're worried, too.

And these are times of great moral crisis.

This is my philosophy, and it demands of

me more moral courage than I often want

to experience. But I have learned that

personal comfort is no moral compass.

My classroom at San Leandro High

School, where I have taught Drama,

English, and a new-comer center for

students recently arrived in this country.

In the background is the set of "Crimes

of the Heart," one of the best shows I've

ever directed. I left the high school in '04.

And I continue to live my life as

an out and proud gay man. That

includes standing up for social

and justice issues, and keeping

it real at my school and in my

community. Sometimes I feel

I'm not the activist I once was;

maybe I need to start kicking

a little ass around here...

After 20+ years of urban life,

I moved out to the suburbs --

now I'm in Concord, a half hour

from San Francisco
