Okay, now here's the deal.

I have agonized for months, re: my feminine presentation. Having somewhat low self esteem regarding my overall presentation, I have never, I repeat, NEVER considered myself female looking enough to be comfortable in public. That has gone by the boards. Over the last few months there have been more than a few instances where I have been accepted by people who have no other reason to accept that I am who and what I appear to be. To be accepted simply as just another female is still heady stuff for me, but I LOVE it!

Yesterday, we got a letter from The Heart Hospital, offering a date. My partner goes in next Wednesday 21st for a heart bypass operation very early on the 22nd.

Just a quick note for anyone that's interested, I've finally sat down and done some uniformity tweaks to my Organizer pages.

I haven't decided if I'm going to do anything with my Author page yet, but Book One now has a proper title, and all three have a proper, brief synopsis attached.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to doing this. I really, honestly did not expect my Robin chapters to become so popular especially as the first serious writing I've done in years, not counting the odd fanfic here and there.

Yeah... so I am not doing much writing at the moment since my wife's mother passed away. I have some stuff mostly done but I don't have the spoons to finish them, as there is too much other stuff that is going on. Sorry for the delay.

I must have overpaid the balance of Dear wife's JC Penney charge card because today she got an adjustment check.

For three cents! I told DW we'd hurry to Suntrust after she comes home from work so we can deposit the check.

Historians claim to have identified the site of the Round Table of King Arthur, at a site near Chester. A recently uncovered collesium like structure is believed the be the fabled location. It could seat about 1,000 people, nobles and retainers mostly, and would have been an assembly area for preparing for war. Thought it was interesting since there has been some interest in Ancient Briton and associated areas.

Well, I am feeling a little better. I think I am just getting anxious about school. I am stuck waiting for info so I can get my approvai for funding, and I cant do anything but wait, and time is running short. Meanwhile, however, I was able to find a local TS group online, and submitted a application to join. Assuming that I am accepted, they have a brunch at the end of the month that I could attend. It would be great to have some local girls to help me really get started on this journey.

AOL this morning has a story about Jack Norworth, the man who penned “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”. The refrain to that song is almost as familiar as the Big Closet melody, There Are No Rules, which is chirped every time someone suggests a methodology for writing.

Rules are made to be broken, but it’s easier to successfully engage the reader if you put the ball close to the strike zone.

Sitting in the dark
Only my thoughts for company
My mind drifts back
To times I won't forget

Now it's nearly time to go
And no matter now near or far
I want you to know
How proud I am to call you my friend

A dear friend of mine took a job on the east coast recently and I wrote this for her. She's a sweetheart and while we'll still chat on facebook, it won't be the same as in person.

This was on Yahoo today and I thought you'al would be interested! Richard

BOSTON — The federal law banning gay marriage is unconstitutional because it interferes with the right of a state to define the institution and therefore denies married gay couples some federal benefits, a federal judge ruled Thursday in Boston.
