The Truth about Mardi Gras
I know all you boys are gearing up for your big Mardi Gras celebrations tomorrow . . . aren't you? While you're picking out beads and feathers and dusting off your sequined pants (use a little club soda on that embarassingly stubborn stain), here's a few educational clips for you to think on.
First, there's still time to get your king cake made, and don't forget the plastic baby:
And if you really want to know, here's the scoop on those Mardi Gras colors:
And remember, all you city boys: it ain't no real Mardi Gras without a chicken chase:
Thanks Russ for all that good info. I missed the deadline for making King Cake this year - but luckily Leon found one at the local supermarket in Wysox PA of all places, where we were visiting his sister this past weekend. It was actually very good, complete with Baby JC and all.
Glad you had some king cake. MP and I had an impromptu Mardi Gras dinner last night, but when I stopped by the grocery store they were all sold out! We had to make do with some ersatz cupcakes frosted in purple, gold, and green. But they were festive enough, with some Spumanti to wash them down.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
.
We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.
and welcome to the Blue Truck, a blog for mature gay men with news and views on gay rights, history, art, humor, and whatever comes to mind. Plus a few hot men. The truck's all washed and gassed up, so hop in buddy, let's go.

My Story
click photograph to read
Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?
It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
