What’s Up?

June 29, 2017

Goodness me, how time flies!  I know, I frequently lament my super busy life.  Woe is me, right?  Ah well.  I think that it is because I feel bad for not updating my blog more frequently.  I know that there are at least a few people out there who enjoy my blog and gain something from reading it.  So for you, constant reader, I am sorry that I am so lax in updating things.  Lets see if I can at…

A Concerning Flaw

May 31, 2017

Some of you may know that I am currently on a clothes shopping diet.  This idea was born of wanting to offer my wife some sort of solidarity with her choice to be on a food diet.  The idea, that I came up with, is that I would refrain from clothes shopping while she is food dieting. For the most part things are going quite well.  I am finding lots of good clothes combinations that I had not considered before.…

Nice Hat

March 31, 2017

Hat – Slouchy Beanie  The second compliment that I received today was “nice hat.”  This was said to me by the gentleman that was standing behind me in line as I waited to make my next appointment with the dermatologist.  As soon as I finished up, I turned around, smiled at the man behind me, and he complimented my hat.  I really like this hat as well and have received more than one compliment on it.   About a half…

What’s in a Name?

December 12, 2016

Brook, Bobbi, Nadine.  So far those are the iterations of names that I have gone through and I think I am getting ready to go through another.  I am mentally amping myself up to begin going with Kelly as my new nom de plume.  Well, actually what I have been contemplating is adding a middle name to my current name.  So….. my current name is Nadine Spirit, but you already know that right?  Okay, well there is no middle name…

Medical Community Ignorance

October 24, 2016

Some here may remember in a past post I wrote about being prescribed some medication for my enlarged prostate.  Specifically that drug is called Tamsulosin.  While I have the drug sitting at home, I have yet to try it.  I am a bit concerned about the common side effect of dizziness that people are reporting.  I am an avid duck hunter and I don’t need any dizziness while out shooting a shotgun standing in a muddy marsh!!  Ha! Anywho…. I…

Sometimes Being Out Is a Responsibility I Don’t Want

September 19, 2016

Is it easy to be out or in the closet?  I think this is something that many of us part timers ponder.  I mean if you are facing certain transition, then the question is moot.  You’re not going to transition to the other gender entirely and spend your time sitting in a closet all by yourself.  Life couldn’t possibly get done that way. For those who are just an occasional cross dresser, then again, I think the question is easily…

Public Relations

August 1, 2016

Sometimes I feel as though I am in public relations simply by stepping outside of my door.  Well, maybe even when I am not stepping outside my door; as in my previous post on Register.com.  It’s similar to a thought I heard Dennis Prager discussing once.  While I am not a lock-step believer in everything that he says, this one time he said something along the lines of – ‘if you are a member of a minority group then you…
