I'm sure I'm boring you all stiff, but I have just completed another ride up the ridgeway, this time on my race bike - something a few days ago, I wouldn't have believed I could do. This bike is higher geared than the others, with only a compact chainset instead of the triple. It goes faster but takes more effort.

Some, if not many of you, don't know Scotty, but he has been an unofficial ambassador to many of the 'girls'. In the past year or two, Scotty has traveled to several of the girls homes to visit and, in a few cases, to get them out of their houses or wherever they live, and out into public for a meal, or just a drive. Some of them had never ventured out of their places of residence en femme.

It's that time again, folks! National Novel Writing Month is November, and it's time to begin thinking about your projects! Now, don't start them until the start time, but it's okay to outline what you wanna do or such.

I want to apologize for not being here for a few days, but I have been in the hospital because of my leg. My lower left leg got infected and I had to go and have it seen about. Only now can I get onlne for a while before I have to deal with my legg.

Writing is a cruel mistress.

I know I've been remiss in posting a new Amazon chapter, and nearly as bad on Ma'at.

All I can say is that Real-Life has been ridiculously busy for both immediate and extended family, and Changes (capital 'C' deliberate) seem to be under way for me, personally. (Not bad things, but the stress level is 25 on a scale of 1 to 10)

I am going to contact the ACLU about Bellsouth and see if they can put their legal muscle in play and force them to allow full access. We pay for full access and if we are not getting it, then they are in breach of contract. It is also not their place to say what we can and cannot access online as a moral issue. It is a violation of free speech.

A friend just sent this to me and I LOVED IT! Perhaps you have seen it already, but for the rest, here it is . . .

Sorry, can't do an episode tonight - too tired, just had a friend on the phone for an hour and am absolutely knackered. Discovered I can't save the universe and write at the same time. Hopefully normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

Apologies,

Angharad & >^^< (the one who kept me awake last night!)

I was just going to post this as a comment on the story, but I got worried that many of the very, very important people it was intended for would miss it, so I decided to put it over here too and increase the chances it would reach most of them.

I got this letter last night and am just passing it along to everyone.

You know, I'm writing this rant because I just read another story where the main character went straight.

Why am I writing this?

An Italian priest is to hold the world's first online beauty pageant for nuns.
Antonio Rungi says The Miss Sister Italy online contest will start on his blog in September.

In March last year I posted a blog about cycling over the South Dorset Ridgeway. From, the Weymouth side, it rises about 100m much of it in the form of a chalk escarpment. From the north it's a longer gentler pull, from the south, a much steeper prospect with nasty hairpin bend about a third of the way up.
