About Tommy

Now here's a story about a man named Tommy. A close friend, my boyfriend, even from thousands of miles away. It was an art festival in Florida that brought us together briefly in 2006, and then again two years later. And now here we are. An ocean between us, though somehow connected through spirit, thoughts, and the technological wizardry of Skype.

Tommy is a man of music, humor, intellect, political passion, and loyalty to his community. A jokester, a romantic, and a man who can sing like Johnny Cash. Plays a mean air guitar, and can shake it on the dance floor like nobody's business. He knows how to make me laugh, and shares my love of squirrels (at least I think he does). A patient listener, Tommy offers soothing words when the time is right. Knows how to solve nearly any problem, even in the midst of chaos. He inspires me to relax and to take risks once in a while.
