My trip to the midwest got me way behind on posting here, so I am going to cheat and post a bunch of things today, then backdate them to hide evidence of my laziness.

Note to self
Don’t let people book you on 6am flights to LA. You end up in LA just in time for rush hour. At least I got a couple of interesting skyline shots as I sat in traffic.

Alum shares earned wisdom with the Wabash Community
by Gary James, News Editor •
October 29, 2008
Andrea James was an 11-year-old boy when she first discovered the word transsexual. She found the term in a publication called “The Book of Lists,” which listed ten famous transsexuals. She tried to do some follow-up research at her local library, but she could not find any books about the topic in the card catalog. She was disappointed. But now, having completed the transition from male-to-female, she dedicates both personal and professional time filling the information void she first discovered as an 11-year-old boy.
