Our episode of In the Life airs in the NY area tonight at 10PM.
Borders in Albany
Here are a couple of photos from the Borders reading up in Albany:
<<< the first of me with a nice display of She’s Not the Man I Married
& the second of us with a bunch >> of friends (& a Harry Potter poster): from left to right: Betty, me, Hawk Stone, Tristan, & Colten.
Gone Betty Gone
Well now I’ve got one big fat reason NOT to be cheerful: Betty has left town to do a job upstate & will be gone all week. We see each other for the weekend & then she’s gone for a whole other week.
Feh.Â
I miss her so quickly it almost surprises me, but I feel bad too for little Aurora, who is Betty’s shadow and nap companion. Hopefully I’ll keep myself from being too depressed & will instead just get a lot done.

Lisa Birnbach Interview
Betty’s got the interview Lisa Birnbach did with me online now, so those of you who didn’t hear it at the time can hear it now.
I personally think it’s worth it just to hear her say, “so go smoke that!” in response to me mentioning that Betty still considers herself my husband.
Last Stop: Poughkeepsie
Ironic perhaps that Betty & I should be doing what looks like the last of our “in person” gigs via rental car instead of by train – since there have been times in the past few months that I felt like I lived on the latter. Not that I mind: I really do love trains in nearly an irrational way. It’s something about the sound of a train whistle – all at once so melancholy, so romantic, & so hopeful.
It’s fitting that we should wind down in Poughkeepsie, since the group I’ll be visiting, MHVTA, is one that let me interview them when I was researching My Husband Betty. What I remember best was asking, “What would you want the world to know about crossdressing that they don’t?” and I got a variety of answers that informed my intent when I wrote it.
So thanks to everyone who has let me ask them questions, emailed me with input, and told me their stories.
