Tate
Central Oregon was flat, dry, and very similar to the eastern side of my
home state, Washington. I hated it on sight. After driving from
Seattle, I avoided Portland city limits by cutting off of I-5 and taking the
205 eastbound toward Mt. Hood. My plan was to cross over the mountain
pass and then down through Madras, Oregon, and eventually to Bend,
where I was relocating.
I wouldn’t be moving from Seattle to Bend had my ten-year relationship
not ended so terribly. Here I was, two years into my thirties, and single for
the first time in adulthood. Thomas, my ex, had found a newer version of
me. A Tate 2.0, if you will. With Thomas being twenty years older than me,
I’d never worried that I could age out of our relationship, but apparently I
had.
“He turned fifty, Tate. A total mid-life crisis for gay guys his age. Plus,
what’d you expect from a gym queen like Thomas?” my best friend Jake
had explained. “Don’t worry, he’ll get his due when he’s too old to get his
pecker up.”
“He’s rich,” I’d reminded him.
“Still, no one wants a limp dick on a grampa,” he’d countered.
“He takes those blue pills like vitamins,” I’d argued.
“Well, in that case, I hope you got some of his money.” I hadn’t, but that
wasn’t the issue. I had enough of my own.
Driving down the southeastern slope of Mt. Hood was like landing on a
different continent versus Western Oregon. Apparently, the fourth tallest
mountain in the Cascade range, along with the rest of the mountains, did
their job of keeping moisture on the western side of the state.
Like Seattle, Portland had its fair share of rain. I’d also considered
Portland in my job search, but the city was too similar to Seattle. Similar,
yes, but a lot weirder.
My Zoom recruitment meeting featured a team of Gen Z’s who sold me
on Bend and the surrounding areas. Bend was hip and upwardly bound with
a host of start-ups and a cool citywide vibe, while still hanging on to the
outdoorsy groove that Oregonians flocked to.
There were rivers to kayak in, mountains to climb or hike, skiing on the
slopes of the mountain pass I’d just crossed, and a downtown nightlife
exploding with all the new young money. The recruiting team made Bend
out to be Seattle-lite but without Seattle’s reputation for being unfriendly
and chilly to newcomers.
“You’ll love it in Bend. I promise,” a cute guy on the screen, sitting
toward the back of the room and about my age, stated. “There’s something
here for all of us,” he’d added. I sensed he knew we played for the same
team.
