To anyone who's read my random conglomerations of words here before, they probably know I've been shuttling back and forth on planes between work assignments for some time now.   Used to be there was novelty in flying. Now, its pretty much like going on a long trip in a bus.   And the airport inspections in DC? Grrr...  

Anyway, Moe n I are flying home tomorrow morning for our scheduled two weeks.   It'll be good to go home of course, but I all I can think about right now is the hassle of it all.   I've done this so often now, I sometimes think I can do this without the airplane anymore...

Used to be, I would have done anything to get to this point in my life. And I practically did. Never would I have thought that my next big concern would be such picayune things as the troubles that a run-of-the-mill plane traveler worry about - nothing as life-shaking as thinking of the future, of being accepted, of being outed and ostracized, of being hurt, betrayed or the dozens and dozens of thoughts and worries that people like us usually allow to fill our waking moments.

Right now, it's just about missing our flight, losing our luggage, getting lost, security. The worst worry is about our plane crashing. Do things often enough and even the most unique or special thing can become humdrum. Things can change for the better or the worse. But there is the middle road - when things become humdrum... even for transpeople. At least things aren't changing for the worse.

We're flying again... yayyy... or maybe I should say ho-hum...

Seeya later.
