For those of you following Penny Lane's Tales of Anmar, I thought you might find this interesting.

I understand that my body is changing. I did not ask for it to change, it is happening anyways. My testosterone levels have been dropping for about ten years now (I'll be 57 in 2 months) and that is normal. But since my wife died 7 years ago I have not slept well. I usually get 3-5 hrs of sleep, in the past few months it's more like 3-6 hrs. Rarely do I sleep more than 6 hrs. I recently investigated the causes of low testosterone in men and found that age 40+ the levels decrease, this is natural.

I wanted to say a special thank you to all of you who have blogged or posted stories here or on BTCS's sister sites. In the 3 years that I have been visiting BCTS I have read a lot in order to better understand myself and other people's orientations.

I'm trying to find a story I read a while back, maybe 2-4 months ago. It's Sci-Fi, about a General returning to Earth to be court martialed for losing a battle to take a planet. The one who organized the defeat was a former academy friend that saved him some 30? years before and was left behind with some other wounded. He was changed by one of his captors into a daughter. They were called elves, and were one of the oldest races in the universe.

This former friend was 'caught' and is travelling with him on a shuttle to Earth. She tells him her story on the way.
