My new insurance just kicked in. What I need to do now is to make an appointment with my new doctor and get the ball re-rolling with transitioning. Fun stuff!
My kid spent Friday night at my flat, and we did some running around Saturday. We had such a good time. It made me miss her all that much more. We'll probably going to do that again this coming Friday. I hadn't had a Saturday out like that in ages!
I had to report to work earlier than usual this morning for part of our U-505 Behind the Scenes Tour. I had no idea who the group was I would be taking through the boat. Some press members were there. Upon conclusion of my tour, which went well despite losing my voice today, a photographer for Wreck Diver magazine wanted some shots of me. He mentioned how one of the people on my tour was none other than John Chatterton. I went nuts. He saw this and made sure I had a proper introduction to this amazing person.
Chatterton is the central figure in Shadow Divers, the true story of two men who discovered the wreck of a U boat off the coast of New Jersey, and how they not only dangerously explored the wreck, but unlocked the mystery of its identity. A documentary was made about this story.
He was the nicest man! He asked me for my card (don't have one!), and didn't have one of his own to give to me. The photographer got some shots of us together, and it looks like I will be in Wreck Diver magazine coming up soon! Although I am still nursing a cold, and had a bad voice, it put me in such a good mood.
Lisa Snyder, an art and architecture historian at UCLA, has been developing this incredible virtual reality tour of the Columbian Exposition, the World's Fair, of 1893. We had this at the museum as a very temporary exhibit this past weekend. She was such a sweetheart! When I spoke to her a second time later in the day I offered my services to help her even further with the project. She immediately agreed, then said "You'll rue the day you said this!" I can't wait. This is a major historical project. That means I might get out to L.A. more. I do have to pay up my bet to Lilienne.
First Japanese television, now UCLA, now the print media! Not bad for a tranny who hasn't even begun to transition!
