This morning I was reminded of how Erasure’s Andy Bell truly opened my eyes that night in 1987 when they opened for Duran Duran. I grew up in East Texas, so his flamboyance and unapologetic gayness shocked me. I don’t think I ever had so much respect for anyone as I did for him. I

Okay. So I couldn’t see it well, but I did indeed see The Matterhorn. Even better, I went snowshoeing in The Alps for the second year in a row. Last year I was in the Austrian and Bavarian Alps. This year, I’m in the Swiss Alps, and this is The Matterhorn! I went snowshoeing BENEATH THE MATTERHORN!
