to the post i put up this morning?

Isaac Asimov said, “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” Although his intent was clear, in that the incompetent resort to violence as they can think of no other action to take, he is inherently wrong. The Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 attempted to outlaw war as an act of national policy, but it has obviously failed. The simple fact is that throughout history, war has been much more the norm than peace.

and all that

yep, finally, Maddy is back!

The story begins with a guy trying to hide. He goes to Northern California and is camping out, I believe on the outskirts of Yosemite. He transforms into a young girl, is found, taken to LA/Hollywood, becomes a star and ends up adopted. Please help me find this story. Thanks!

Last week, I blogged about taking my wife to the doctor. As I mentioned in that blog, I was wearing obvious women's pants and tops and had my hair fixed in a way that would lend itself to reinforce my gender presentation. The point of that blog was to highlight how relaxed my wife has become about how I'm dressed when we are out and about together.

but no more!

or more accurately here in Brizzle, Fahrenheit 32!

We're getting older. Come March I'll join the ranks of the octogenarians. My wife is only two years younger. Like many of us, as I get older I feel the need to live as my real self more often and more completely. Props to my wife for dealing with a non-binary gender expressing person. (Read transgender in denial.) Five decades ago, when she caught me dressed and we talked about it she said, "Do it if you must, but don't let me see it.

I see severe winter marching across from Kansas to DC. Please stay safe, our sisters and brothers in its path, and preferably under cover and off the roads. The temps and snowfall make our disruptive UK winter weekend a mere shower by comparison.

My Summer in Pantyhose Chapter 36 is up. Sorry it's a day late. As a school bus driver I'm on winter break (remember when they used to call it Christmas break?) and somehow I lost track of what day of the week it was. :oP

let's hope it's a good one.

I've been endeavoring to learn how to do organizational pages. I'd like to thank Sephrena for patiently tutoring me in that effort. She walked me through the organizational page for the, "If It Was Your Husband," page, helped me when my boo-boos made me tear my hair.

"If It Was Your Husband," was a practice session for me. What I really wanted to do was organize "My Summer in Pantyhose." Jeremy Chandler did 24 chapters listed on his author page and I took up the story and have completed another 19 chapters plus an epilogue.

We had a great Christmas Day at my daughter's house marred only by the fact that my grandson and his new wife were ill and couldn't make it. We got home shortly after 10 in the evening. I was just catching up on the goings on here on BCTS when the first power outage hit. It was a minute later that it came back. Not to unusual for my little town that only has two feed lines from the electrical grid. Then about five minutes later, we heard a loud boom and the lights went out. No doubt, a transformer blew.

Yep, its the big day!

Here’s wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

I had a wonderful Christmas Eve with family and friends, and now as I lay down for my long winter’s nap I just wanted to say thank you to all of my friends here on this site, to all those who have been there for me when I was down and in need of a kind word, and to all of the wonderful authors who have helped me through some very trying times in my life.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

I'm trying my hand at an organizational page. I think I've got it. I've tried it out in preview and it works. I'm going to copy and past the body content to my word processor so that I can reproduce it.

I'm not sure where it will end up. I'm reluctant to just hit "Save" and hope that every thing is really ready. Can someone give me a hint as to what I can expect.

Yeah, I know, which of these things is not like the others? LOL - believe it or not, they have a lot in common this evening.

I had just finished reading Emma’s latest posting this evening, part 6 of 8 of her story Who Makes Intercession, and was leaving a comment when my youngest son came in the house - he was eating dinner with us this evening. I finished typing my comment regarding Emma’s story, and got up to eat dinner.

Yep, its time for some bike action from our tiny songbird!

Just a quickie that i thought i'd share.

So here I am, in deepest Germany, things were going swimmingly until this afternoon. Yep I’ve been to markets, eaten lots of weird and wonderful food, matched that with drink and even had a ride on the Schwebebahn!

Yep, its just a day until i set off on my Weihnachtsmarkt adventure!

season is here

Fake It Till You Make It, and the main character, Holly, expressed how thankful she was on her first Thanksgiving as her real self. It made me cry, and it made me think of all the things I have to be thankful for.

I truly have much to be thankful for, as I expect most of us do if we think about it for a moment.
