Cary and Randy - just together

People who knew them early in their careers said Cary Grant and Randolph Scott lived openly gay lives behind closed doors, but, as was the case with many actors, arranged marriages were the order of the day. Studios had to protect their financial properties and interests. The name "Bachelor Hall" and the reported parade of women through there was orchestrated by the studios, who wanted to keep their valuable actors away from any scandal.

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you

As this yuletide time approaches

with its season of good cheer,

midst colored lights and tinsel;

I try hard to persevere.

There was a time I welcomed Christmas

with glad tidings from the start;

but sadness now envelopes me,

for you left and broke my heart.

I'll just forget the holiday,

no cheer for me this year.

So solemn now I trudge along,

trying not to shed a tear.

A Period of Adjustment

When a relationship ends, it’s normal to move through a painful period of adjustment. If you sprained your ankle, you would cut yourself some slack, and take time out to heal. Many folks are reluctant to handle psychological pain as they do the physical. This “healing time” can be a perfect opportunity to learn to live alone, enjoy being independent and by yourself.  Many come to cherish this time of self exploration and freedom. They can do what they want – when they want – without having to compromise. Most say that once they get settled into this lifestyle, ironically, it’s then they connect with someone else that’s a much better match for them.
