The True Pain of Electrolysis

July 21, 2018

Sitting in the front office getting my chin numbed. It is with grave misfortune that I neglected to heed the advice of those who have come before me in regards to electrolysis.  That advice was to start now!  And I will repeat it, if you are contemplating the possibility of one day doing this to yourself, stop thinking about it, and just go do it!  Seriously! My issue?  My issue is that I didn’t ever really think that I would…

1 Year Anniversary on Estrogen

July 3, 2018

I really had no idea.  If I would have known, I would have gone this route long ago.  How different life would be is unimaginable.  It’s sad, actually.  I know, I shouldn’t feel bad for things that have happened, for it was only those things that brought me to the path I’m on.  Who knows what would have been now, if that had not ever been then.  At least it happened eventually. Oh, I’m sorry, I’m waxing on dramatically without…

Did She Just Say Transing?

June 27, 2018

Standing next to my truck I realized what had occurred, I just locked my keys inside.  It was truly an unreal moment and I stood there for a bit absolutely dumbstruck.  This couldn’t really be happening could it?  Yes, yes it could, and it was.  I tried pushing some random numbers into my key-less entry system as I never actually bothered to memorize the actual combination.  I knew it was a five digit code, but that was about it.   Proving…

A Minor Massive Fear

June 8, 2018

It was with a weird disconnected calm that I heard my wife describe the horror I had been dreading since 2010.  A student came up to her and described how all of the students were talking about that I had been discovered online.  They apparently found my Facebook page which led them here to this little ol blog of mine.  At one point in my life this would have been awesomely devastating for the two of us, at least mentally. …

Paper Mache Penguin

June 3, 2018

This school year I have had the amazing opportunity to teach an applied mathematics course where we have used mathematics concepts to create art.  This post is about a project that I made for the students to learn the process of using proportional reasoning to create a large scale paper mache object. I didn’t have a Teddy Bear while growing up, I had a stuffed penguin.  I slept with that penguin forever.  Eventually it acted as a pillow that I…
