It's been a while... okay, quite a while. But, rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

Time has a way of sneaking up on us, and we sometimes miss milestones that might otherwise be considered important...

Things last time sounded messed up. Well, they got worse, sorta.

I've been around... off and on... But, there have been some bumps in the road.

No, as some of you may have noticed, I'm still around. Life continues along it's merry way, despite our expectations that something life changing has happened.

Okay, life goes on... And, it's sometimes the "little" things that get your attention and/or remind you of this.

Transition happened, I'm back at work. It's almost as if for the rest of the world, nothing happened. Why am I so surprised?

Not so fast, Batman! Okay, not Batman... I'm not a caped crusader, nor am I a man even...

You know, it can be disturbing when one visit's one's primary care doc, and gets referred for extra tests...

To err is human, to really foul up requires a human with access to a computer!

Erin provides a wonderful feature that lets readers post comments (virtually anonymously) on stories they've read, without having a login to the site.

Well, things seem to be looking up. If you read my last blog, you'll recal there were some stumbles. But, well, that's the blog.

The past few days have not been my best. About the only thing good to say (okay, maybe not only... but, you'll see...) is I lost a few pounds cause I wasn't eating much.

Normally one would be a tad nervous about a court date. Why do I find myself anticipating it rather than nervous?

I generally enjoy the Mythbuster's TV show... And, I don't know about any of you, but I know I've wondered about some of the things I've read in stories about transitions, hormones and the like. Some of them are repeated over and over in story after story. Other things, I see only now and again.

How do we define forward? Is it based on a long term goal? On a short term goal? What's the difference between lurching steps and smooth transitions? Why use terms like this?

There comes a time, as we approach our transition that we have to tell our Bosses. Well, I reached that day, today. *sighs*

You know, there comes a time when things seem to happen REALLY FAST. It sometimes feels that way for me about now...

It's been a while, and a LOT has happened. I even posted another segment in my slowly developing serial. But, that's not the topic of this blog. Life HAS been interesting. Yes, I think that's the right term, interesting.

HRC's published the 2012 edition of the CEI, and I'm happy to see that my employer is finally rated at 100%! :-) It's been 95% for the last several years (the hold up was trans benefits... They had them, but they were provided on a case-by-case basis despite the exclusion in insurance. The exclusion is no longer in the insurance policies and benefits are awesome!).

Can it possibly be four (4) years ago that I signed up for an account here - so I could start posting my first story (Who Was I - and before any of you go look - it's filled with typos and other related errors). I thank the two ladies who convinced me to start writing and then start posting here.

Perphaps it's not so big a step, but it feels like one to me...

I got a few very complimentary comments on my latest short story, and today I happened to notice that the read count had already broken 3,000. This got me wondering...

The past few weeks have seen some interesting occurrences. Mostly positive, but, you know what they say about "interesting times"...

Did you know that people actually READ stories that were posted a long time ago?

After only being on the road (with work) three weeks out of fifteen months it seems my luck has changed. All of August (except for the week of Vacation) was spent at a client in Pennsylvania. Now, I find myself commuting to the DC area. Working out of town has it's ups and downs!

I've heard the stories. You know, the ones that go "you take your boobs and put them between two metal plates, and drop an anvil on them"... Funny, huh.

Going on a family vacation - with outsiders who only know the OTHER you... Are there questions? Are there moments of awkwardness? What about vacationing in a state with no protections?

Coming out to friends triggers so many emotions. When it has the potential to affect one’s kids as well, the fear side...

Is it a good thing to discover that you're NOT the trailblazer you thought you were? (Preparing to transition in the workplace.)
