writing a book

Being a Math major I have but limited command of the English language. In fact, in high school one English teacher I had called my writing pedantic when I wrote "an historic event" rather than "a historic event."

So, I thank all of those who think I should write a book. If I knew how I just might do it. But who wants to read about a post-op mtf transwoman, who graduated from the Naval Academy, spent five years in the Marines, raised two sons, traveled and lived in many states, some of them homeless and living in a car with a dog? I mean, just a typical American life, right?

As Sally said.... "makes me want to sleep!!!"

this country sucks

Enjoy your memorial day:

from a nyt article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/31/us/31iht-letter.html?ref=us

There are substantive issues. The unemployment rate among veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq is more than 13 percent. There are more than 100,000 homeless veterans, and women face special challenges. There are humongous mental-health deficiencies; the Pentagon estimates that about 20 percent of those who have served in these wars will suffer from mental health issues.

And the Department of Veterans Affairs is too bureaucratic. Currently, there are more than a half-million disability claims with the department; more than one-third have been pending more than four months. “The average veteran walking into the V.A. does not see much change,” Mr. Rieckhoff said.

While you have your parades ... we have no homes
while you eat your bbq ... we have no jobs
while you have your concerts ... we have no health care
