What?  the part about me being a stalker at work, or the fact that I work with some homophobic Neanderthals?

As for the first part, I have no intentions of acting on my attraction to young Nick.

As for the second part... I have no intentions of acting on that either.    These people are responcible for reviewing me for recertification and even annual pay increases.   They can also make my life miserable there if I came out by putting me in the worst work areas.    Not to mention ostricized by many of the other employees.   

Yes,  there should be penalties for such behavior, but I'm not naive enough to think this is a perfect world.

It was the second part. I don't think you are a stalker! LOL

No, it is not  a perfect world, unfortunately. Sigh...

Weather update!

It is seriously snowing here, enough to be a pain in the ass. My normal 40 minute drive to take Hannah to school and then me to work took 65 minutes this morning. If it had been snowing like this at 6 am, the schools would have been closed. The fact that it started a bit later caught everyone off guard.

They say it is supposed to stop but right now it looks like we have our first storm of the season going on in full force.

Eighty years old? God bless 'er! 

I hear we had some snow last night. Didn't stick an hour. I didn't even see it! 

Very cold and windy but bright and sunny this morning.

I'm sorry you had to experience that, David.

Today they were reviewing proper proceedure on how to inspect a male passenger with a hand held metal detector if he was wearing a kilt or religious garment of the skirt type.

How do you do that?! (inspect a passanger with a kilt on I mean) Do you get a lot of kilt wearers in the airport? Just interested as I'm now trying to think if I've ever seen someone in a kilt being inspected in a Scottish airport!

I myself would be quite happy to stand behind the person doing the inspecting if it was a good looking an getting inspected!!  That's why I love being a Scot, I'll tell ya - our men aren't afraid to wear skirts!

I coulda kilt that guy for that remark! 

((((David))))  The day can't come soon enough when you'll be able to come out to your colleagues without fear of being stigmatized. 

Today is also the 26th anniversary of John Lennon's death.

    Imagine

    John Lennon

    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today...

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religon too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace...

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    In a brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world...

    You may say i'm a dreamer
    But i'm not the only one
    I hope some day you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, stated in public about a month ago that she wished December 8th to become a day of forgiveness, a day when people might apologize to those who have suffered needlessly at the hands of their fellow humans, and strive to build bonds of peace and understanding. What a beautiful way to memorialize Lennon's bright and caring spirit.

Edit: Correction of minor typo.

You know, I was thinking more.  Even worse than the one guy making the awful remark was that no one spoke up about it.  I understand why you didn't, David, but that's why it's even more important that I DO when the opportunity arises.

I was over on an IMDB board and somebody was mouthing off about "gays having an agenda" .. he was basically being a troll and when someone responded to him, he answered back with more gibberish and "you stupid COWBOY" ..  .. Some things on IMDB will never change!
