Hello Folks, Thank you for stopping by my profile page. I live in northwest Pennsylvania in the land of six months of snow. Although I spend a considerable time indoors, I do not get as much time to be here as I would like. The stories I submit tend to be about Gay and Lesbian matters, but I also post about Germany, US politics and International News events. I happen to be liberal, and generally vote for Democratic candidates. If you would like to chat, feel free to send me a message. As always, happy reading. David
