I created the Terry Awards to celebrate past stories. Older stories are too easily forgotten once they move on to the archives (back pages) and I think that's a terrible fate.

This batch of awards is for serials and solos only. Terry Awards for complete stories that have been posted in multiple parts will be included later in the year.

I just finished working on the Terry Awards. Yay!

I've spent many, many hours on this but I'm a little disappointed that I didn't have time to go through all of the stories. I'll be covering stories that have been posted in multiple parts later in the year -- when I have more time.

As I was sorting through vote totals, I was surprised to see how high they were. For the best real world serials, every one of the six entries had over 100 votes! 2009 has been a good year, not only for quantity but for getting the vote out.

I watched an interesting program on BBC America last night. Called 'Transvestite Wives'.

It was a look at how the partners (not all were married) of men who dress as woman cope, and participate with their partners lifestyle. It was sensitively produced, and showed the men in both male and female persona.

Interesting article in today's Guardian. Thought I'd post a link before Angharad gets her PC booted ;)

Obama urges Congress to extend benefits to same-sex partners; `my hope is we can get it done'

TAMPA, Fla. (Associated Press) --
President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to pass a law extending benefits to same-sex partners, a day after he renewed his support for repealing the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military.

…or a nightgown. A Tesco branch in Wales won't allow any customers to shop if they are wearing night attire–or barefoot or wearing bedroom slippers.

Have any BC/TS-ers ever been tempted to shop in pyjamas?

to quote Scrooge (more or less) "I'm as giddy as a school girl and as light as a feather!" well the light as a feather part is still some way away 40+ pounds lost this month, more to follow.

I've recently upgraded to IE8 and Windows 7. Until today, it's been great. Then today it happened... for some reason it says it cannot open BC whenever I try to go to it... via a bookmark or a Google search. I haven't touched any Parental Controls whatsoever and have no problem getting to my other TG-related sites via a bookmark.

My wife and I have proven it's IE8 or IE8 related, because friends report they're not having any problems and as final proof, I'm typing this on my laptop, which is running Vista and Windows 7.

Today is an anniversary of a sort for me.

This day, one year ago, my wife discovered the remainder of my crossdressing clothing 'stash'. I was on a work trip to San Francisco, and was in a meeting when she called me on my cellphone to ask "Did I have anything to tell her?"

Being confused at the context, I remained silent. She continued to say that she had found a bag hidden away in my home office closet that had female clothes, and high heel shoes in it. Not being in a place where by I could discuss further, I told her I'd call her back at the end of the meeting I was currently in.
