Thankful
Barcelona!
Thanksgiving week, this year quite a bit different from the last.
Many people have asked how I’ll celebrate my “One Year Anniversary” (November 28). The fact is that I probably won’t. It’s another day…
Many people have asked about how work has been – how traveling both domestically and internationally has been. Pretty unremarkable actually – we’ve had both our quickest return trips through customs, as well as the first time that we’ve ever been pulled out. (That was coming back from Spain – it turns out that there is a lot of “Ham Smuggling” – not a euphemism – and the customs folk are on the lookout for smuggled sausage.)
At work, day to day in Redmond, no one really cares about my gender (or transition). They care that I’m competent and do my job (which I try to do!)
At home, well, there I’m truly fortunate. Thankful even. I won’t gush, but it wouldn’t be the same without Anh… nuff said.
I’ll be back soon with a full recap of the year.
Thankful.

Happy Anniversary, Megan. And welcome back to the Web! I like to think that “no news is good news,” but it’s always nice to hear the good news and be sure. 🙂
