30 Dec 2019
As 2020 and a new decade dawns, I thought it would be nice to go back in time for a bit and reminisce about how the 2010s went and also to talk about where I’m at today. Just thinking about it, I’m surprised about how much my life changed in the past 10 years. Personally, I probably couldn’t be doing better. I have a loving, stable marriage.

I’m not sure if it’s a subconscious thing or just a conincidence, but I seem to have this habit of starting new blogs on or around significant dates for the LGBT community. My last two blogs were started on National Coming Out Day (in October). Today’s significant date is the International Transgender Day of Visibility. With a lot of trepidation, I wrote this first post on a previous blog back in 2011: Read more ... - A new devblog •

Brand new web site! I’m not 100% sure what all I will use this space for just yet, but chances are some of it will be programming related, some of it will be furry stuff, maybe even some introspective real-life thoughts. Read more ...
