The rampage at the time really rocked me.
The prevalent image of a smiling Magic Johnson has added to our increasing lack of urgency regarding this disease.

We haven't lost any family to AIDS, but we have lost a couple of good friends, and a long time next door neighbor in suburban Chicago. A few dealing with the cocktail, and we both have had a couple of clients with HIV.
Indiana...our place is up in the northwest corner, tucked in up against the South Shore. Close to half of the members of the resident's association board of out little town are gay. It's a patch of blue in a sea of red.
