Happy Birthday to me!

I can has tikkit! For Burning Man! Yeah, after a six-and-a-half hour wait yesterday - they said they were having technical difficulties - I got my order in. It's very likely to lead to some serious aggro with Nibs because she likes to have me around for the first week of school, but you know what?

1. The Wendling will be fourteen (14) years old by then. Chances are he won't want me around, much less need me.
2. No Grand Snip this year. The universe kind of owes me.
3. PTA slavery for the past couple of weeks had me completely meshuggah yesterday. It's a miracle that I only want to strangle two parents out of nearly two hundred.
4. It's been four years, dammit.
5. The theme this year is "Rites of Passage". If that isn't God pointing at me out of the sky and saying, "You! Go to Burning Man!" then what is?

I work in a small, somewhat isolated corner of MyCo's campus. A bunch of us from the GLBT employee association got together for lunch. Good networking, good times. We were all born into the same tribe and we all know it.

I think I've had more birthday wishes this year than ever before. I'm gobsmacked. I'm... squeeing to myself.

I'm old enough to know better, but young enough not to act like it.

Happy Birthday!

My daughter will be going into the fourth grade. The only thing she needs from me at this point is to spend money on last minute requests from the teacher. Shopping beforehand will cure most of this problem. I fully expect to not be known to her shortly or drive the wrong car.

Your wife kicked you out of the house and out of their lives. She seems to only want you around to do things. I cannot fathom how she managed to completely cut off her feelings for you just because you look like a woman.

She rejected you, therefore, you are your own person. In some religions, that would be divorced. Do what you want. She has plenty of time and warning and can adjust her schedule to accommodate it. She has no right to complain.
