In case some of you have not seen this yet, I was real sorry to see this. I met her once once and she was absolutely adorable.

Tonight, driving home from an all day D&D session with my friends, I almost hit a power wheelchair that I didn't see until almost too late. The chair had NO lights on it, NO reflectors, the person piloting it and the one walking with him were both wearing dark clothing. The chair was in my lane, traveling toward me and it was dark.

I updated the title page for Amari to include chapter names and characters name and possision. Hopefully this will help you keep track of everyone as the story progresses. Chapter 3: The Hidden Truth was posted today. This is all I have completed so far. Chapter 4 and 5 are in work and I hope I will have them completed plus more by October. I know that is a long way off but my work will have me away from home for 5 months.

Today I was out with my fiance and we were talking about things from our past, past relationships and experiences, and talking about when we first met and our initial thoughts about each other. During this time I got a pretty big surprise. She looked at me and said. "When we first started dating, I thought you were transgendered." I was more than a little bit surprised by this and asked if she thought I wanted to be a girl. She said, "No, I mean when I first met you, I thought you used to be a girl but became a man." Once again I was surprised and asked her why.

I got a heavy dose of reality not long ago, and it cured me of my obsession with the hit counts for my stories.

Wow I am really surprised that within the first hour of posting chapter 3 of The Dream I already have 16 hits.
No I do not plan on having as long of a break as I did between chapters 2 and 3.

Those of you awaiting the next chapter (22) of At Aunt Greta's can rest assured that it is on the way and should be posted in a few days, after it has been checked by Bonzi and his Mum to be free of naughty words that might upset the kiddiwinkies, who probably know them better than I.

that NO ONE has caught the most obvious pun, at least to me, that I included in the story!

In Casablanca, the Head Police figure, played by Claude Rains, was named, Captain Louis Renault.

On "Countdown," his political news/analysis/commentary show on MSNBC last night, Keith Olbermann used his "Worst Persons In The World" segment to highlight (not to mention rip, tear and shred) a Congressional critic of the Matthew Shepard anti-hate-crimes bill that was later passed in yesterday's session.

I release control to all the stories that I have posted for other authors back to them!

I have had a pig awful week, commencing with falling off my bike and hurting my thumb - fortunately, the left one.

Interesting piece originally in the SF Chronicle:

Article reprinted in the Pink Pages

In will be posting my next chapter of Angel Marquez about Tuesday May 6TH.

I'd like to start a discussion of the use of various hormones. I have absolutely no experience with them since I'm not planning on going on hormones and I'd like information on estrogen/oestrogen/progesterone/testosterone blockers/chemical castration/puberty blockers and so on.

The only thing *I* know is that the Over the counter estrogen, Estroven can actually work when combined with an herbal testosterone blocker. I have a friend who has been doing this for the last year or so and she's got nice breasts although she still grows a beard.

So.... GO!

I found this cute picture on WoW community site

Hi folks,

having to live in Germany made me very frightened since some days. Germany is going to be an unlawful country it already has been in Nazi-times and that with obvious best intentions.

Jennifer Finney Boylan writes in today's New York Times writes regarding her worries about "What kind of men would my boys become having been raised by a father who became a woman?"

Back in December I was admitted by ambulance to the local first aid station (hospital) with "Ventricular Arithmia / Tachecardia" which is a fancy way of saying I was having an electrical storm in part of my heart... and this was causing blood to slow its circulation and because it wasn't getting enough oxygen... it was beating faster and faster.

Got a thistle stuck up his sporran
He jiggled his thing
Did a hi'land fling
And muttered about it's a sore 'un.

A new TV Series starting on ITV1 in UK next Friday is based on a scenario frequently found on BCTS–body swap.

I found a nursery rhyme that has a foolproof test to see if you should be a man or a woman! Here it is!

I was standing at the Bus Stop yesterday, and saw a thin, 20ish looking, woman standing there reading a book. She had shoulder length black hair,wore a flowered blue slim dress that covered her shoes, and had a Toreador length little green jacket over it.

I tend to agree with those who say this scum should rot in jail for the rest of his misbegotten life...NO parole!!!

While cycling up The South Dorset Ridgeway on the A354, I got happy-slapped by a car diven by a youth with presumably his friend who did the slapping. Sadly, I didn't get the number, or a proper look at them being too busy struggling with the gradient and effects of gravity on my fat little body and bike laden with my work stuff.

I wasn't hurt, suffering only a light hit on the buttock, but it could have knocked me off or caused me to lose control of the bike and get myself run over: either way, I could have been badly injured.

I spent three freaking hours on the phone yesterday, Monday, going from City Clerk, to County Clerk, to Surrogate Court Clerk, to Superior Court Clerk, to Family Court clerk, trying to locate one lousy form that I need to complete my legal name change paperwork. It's called "in forma pauperis...in English, a poor person application.

It's time to reconfigure a few things on the pute, I was wondering how much space you set a side for works in progress and tales that look interesting enough to save on the side. Also is ms word ok to post onto the site or is there something easyer to deal with? Thinking of writing but not to thrilled with word. scthea

An interesting essay by Gaiman about his stories and books having gender, and also a reflection about writing his book American Gods. I recently finished his kids book The Graveyard Book which won a Newbery Award this year. If you haven't read any of his work, I recommend it. He has a couple collections of short stories out may you wish to start with.

Last September, October, and November was a very productive period of writing for me; however, since then I have basically been in a wasteland for writing.

The news about my dad. I drove home for two nights on the 9th and 10th this month to see him. He had blood clots developed in his legs the previous week. He was operated and the swelling went down by the 13th. He was very chipper and in good spirits at the time. He said he wanted to live another 5 to 10 years. However, he has to do what the doctors tell him to do. Drink plenty of water, eat right and exercise. Well, he didn't do that. Now he had a relapse and lost some more strength. I talked to him briefly last Saturday. I told him I love him very much.

The following quotation is from the novel, The Danish Girl by David Ebershoff: it appears in the notes at the back, entitled a conversation with David Ebershoff.

Several years ago, my dad nearly missed being there with my mom when her labor reached its peak, as he ran down to get his tax papers into the mail before the deadline. Ever since I've really been aware of taxes, I've celebrated Tax Day, trying to remember not to let paperwork get in the way of people, and trying not to be too disappointed when others do.

Well, I thought it was funny, anyways. Gotta be careful with them pickle jars, don'cha?

Well. Tomorrow, the 15th of April, tax deadline day, is my 62nd Birthday. I'm of a couple of minds about this 'event'.

Someone told me that my latest story attempt was very disjointed, so can someone tell me what that means, and how I can correct that problem? How can I make my story join?

Well, all the hoopla about Amazon has accomplished something positive for me, at least. I found a great book that I'd like to recommend (I didn't buy it from Amazon - I downloaded it as an ebook from Fictionwise). It's entitled Luna, by Julie Anne Peters, and it was simply outstanding.

Apparently Amazon.com is removing GLBT books from the rankings pages based on their "adult" status. Read more here:

I have lots of pictures on my Laptop and almost always put them there using Paint simply because to me the simplest way to do something is the most elegant. I have never had trouble re-opening them later.

Well, I have a friend who lives in Mosul, Iraq, and recently she sent me a picture of herself. For some reason, I could see the picture but could not save it to Paint. Last night I tried to open it and where her picture should have been was this little blank screen thumbnail, and I could not open her pic.

This was from Thursday night's Rachel Maddow show, I found it highly amusing especially when she is joined by

I am exhibiting almost all the signs of clinical depression. I've been highly emotional lately, and constantly sleepy. I've gained weight and can't seem to concentrate for very long. I can't seem to care very much about anything either.

She wants to put me on some type of anti-depressant meds, but I have a real problem with that kind of thing. I'm going to try to fight my way through this without meds, so if I get short with anyone, or vanish for awhile, please don't be concerned.

Thank you to all of you who have PM'd or commented on my work so far. In a way I've cheated, because I have simply revised and reposted all my stories that exist elsewhere on the web.
