Musings

Musings is a collection of essays written about the gay condition as seen through the eyes of a tall furry sometimes naive sometimes worldly guy named Charlie. Yes, they're all very old. All of my new writing is in my Live Journal. Any and all comments on these articles are welcome and can be directed to Charlie via the contact form.
