I recently talked to an internets friend on the phone. She lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She made mention of us hanging out if I ever got up to her neck of the woods. So I go over to google maps… and this comes up:
First of all, what’s up with North Dakota? I think google maps is trying to tell me something 
I get frustrated because I don’t take any road trips anymore. Even though I owned a motorcycle in my youth, I’m not a big fan of them. But I’m seriously thinking of buying one so I can make road trips without a huge cost of gas and mileage on a car (you can pick up a smaller cc bike for under $2000 usd that gets 60 -70 mpg).
Well, this Thanksgiving was a joy. I spent it all with my best friend in the entire world, Jennifer. She came over and picked me up and we took these pics before we even drove away…

After sleeping most of Saturday, I didn’t feel much like primping to go out in femme. I will be glad when I don’t have to wear a bunch of makeup just to appear feminine. That is exactly the reason why losing weight and getting laser is top on my goals for the near future.
Anyhow, we went to the AlleyCat, my favorite straight bar.
I love taking pics! 
Some bar ambiance……
Good times, good spirits, and good music! Yes, they were singing!
On Sunday and I went to the alley behind the AlleyCat. Most of the walls around the alleycat are filled with graffitti. We took many pics!
We then went to the Lilly House and took pics there….
We then went to the Graveyard across from the Lilly House. This isn’t just any graveyard, it’s Crown Hill Cemetery. President Benjamin Harrison, Colonel Eli Lilly, 11 Indiana Governors, 1 Kentucky Governor, 14 Indiana Mayors, 13 Civil War Generals, poet James Whitcomb Riley, author Booth Tarkington, automobile manufacturer Frederick Duesenberg, and the infamous bank robber John Dillinger are all buried at Crown Hill.
Party on Wayne!
Me knocking on death’s door.
I love this pic of Jennifer.
I love how my hair looks in this pic
Jennifer and I say… “ya……righhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht!” 
Just add this one because both Mae and I look possessed! 
All in all, it was a great weekend!
What a weekend! It’s not even over and I have had a BLAST! Saturday afternoon I went to an Indyboyz meeting. What is Indyboyz? Their site states that “Indy Boyz is a peer-led social/support group for female-to-male transgendered people (FTMs) in Indianapolis and surrounding areas. The group welcomes persons assigned female at birth or raised as female who are exploring more masculine or male gender identities. We also welcome friends, family, significant others, and allies of FTM-identified persons, including MTFs.” After the meeting some of us went to “Aristocrats” for dinner. What was doing at dinner?
Lots of good conversation followed.
There were eight of us and they seated us in between two tables of obviously non-queer people. The people directly behind us actually got up and left (i believe, because of our chatter.). I love being in a big group like that and not feeling intimidated.
After dinner we went back to Lori and Bryan’s and went swimming. Actually, I didn’t go swimming. but being at the pool with 6 cute guys…..um…THAT was nice. I don’t know about Lori, but I was in heaven.
Maybe this time next year I can wear a bathing suit without feeling self-conscious. It was a great day and an even better evening.
Sunday I spent time working on two blogs Amanda Simpon (a candidate for Congress in Arizona) and Indiana Stonewall Democrats. Currently I am working on a sound file for Ethan on TransFM a funny ass transgender/comedy web radio show. Pretty busy for a weekend I thought was gonna be boring.
Omg…the flowers at White River Gardens are breathtaking.
Then I went to the Indianapolis Zoo which is right next to the Gardens.
This pic made me think of the Patriot Act and what it has done to the privacy and personal rights.
This little one made me think of what it must be like to be imprisoned in a place that isnt your home.
Thats bull!
So ya, the zoo and the garden were fun….but they would have been better had the kids been with me. I long for them soooo much.
