Today, I don't have that much to say. I was going back through some of my photos and the first photo popped up. It's a view of a catering hall that once was a fancy restaurant. Seeing the place in snow reminded me where parts of a movie whose set were used in two movies featuring the same hit song.

As I write this entry, two holiday dates are coming up next to each other. One is a social holiday where romantic rituals often lead to mating rituals. The other is a legal holiday, where fewer and fewer people are given the day off due to the changing nature of American employment. Neither day has much meaning to me anymore. Valentine's Day is meaningful when one has a romantic partner who gives you comfort (however you define it). And Presidents' Day is meaningful only if you have the day off for enjoyment.
Given that I'll be without a romantic companion on Valentine's Day and that I will likely be working on Presidents' Day, it's a big change from where I was 10 years ago. But then, I was still in the closet, and worried about what people would think if I came out. Now, I can go to an interview as Marian, and not worry about what a person thinks of me. Yes, FH still wonders why I want to go to work this way, and TCL probably thinks I'm a little nuts. But this is OK with me. Not all questions are meant to have simple answers....
