Hello Kind Reader~
These are two of my favorite pictures. The first of me and my partner at SF Gay Pride in 2004. I was so happy that day. The second is of me and Butch.

So...You may be wondering "who" I am. Obviously, I'm more than a name...
Here's how I like to think of myself...

Jerome is a writer, musician, philosopher, free-thinker, and teacher with a deep appreciation for all things avant-garde. He enjoys stimulating conversations, captivating novels, killer lattes, and sleeping late. He grew up in the Black Hills of Western South Dakota and studied English and music at a small, state university. He has an intense love of words and a profound fear of heights. Jerome has been described by his friends as a “hummingbird on caffeine.” His youngest sister affectionately calls him “butt nugget.” To his family, he is the “weird one” and his father is convinced that his mother dropped him on his head during infancy. He is a painfully shy introvert who is evolving into an extrovert through a most amazing journey of self-discovery and sometime neurotic behavior. Jerome now makes his home on the West Coast where he undergoes “culture shock therapy” on a daily basis. He happily shares his life with his partner Freddie and their Boston Terrier, Butch. He is practicing radical acceptance of himself and others. His views of the world and personal, biased opinions of life are the inspiration for his blog. Feel free to respond to his blog or email him at Bohemedude@aol.com. Put "BLOG COMMENT" in subject line.
