I find myself 3 years into a similar situation, wondering if it’s time to start doing something about it. I live surrounded by natural splendor, but in the midst of a gay cultural desert. Well, who am I kidding? A cultural desert, no matter how you modify it.

When I lived in urban centers, I always long to escape for a while to the country. I guess I figured that if I lived in the country I could just escape in reverse now and then.

But I’m finding things don’t really work like that.
