From America’s newspaper of record this morning:

WHEN Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge, both Manhattanites, stumbled upon the faded spa town of Sharon Springs, N.Y., in October 2006, they had no idea how radically their lives were about to change. The couple, together since 2000, were on their annual apple-picking weekend upstate, and “were just driving around exploring,” said Mr. Kilmer-Purcell, an advertising executive and writer best known for “I’m Not Myself These Days,” his 2006 memoir of his adventures as a drag queen known as Aqua.
