It's been great following your adventures in life on this blog--though I must admit I find myself stumbling for the correct pronoun when discussing it with others.<BR/><BR/>I wish you many more years of happiness and blogginess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808484.post-50121765243090569272007-12-24T20:53:00.000+00:002007-12-24T20:53:00.000+00:00I think everything is great save the last parapgra...I think everything is great save the last parapgraph (and no, my complaint isn't about the 'T'). Two uses of 'Alas', 'unfortunately', and 'unexpected' are all too negative for an xmas letter. Try this near total rewrite, and remember that it's just my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Les's program is going well in England. Due to a visa mix-up, Xena is wintering in the UK, while Les takes a much-need vacation on the West Coast to catch up with old friends. This unexpected time off has provided Les with an opportunity to pursue a long sought-after sex change and he started taking male hormones in December.<BR/><BR/>It's about half the length, and I love the final teaser at the end. Nobody in a xmas letter needs to know the intricate details of the British immigration system. That's what blogs are for! Feel free to use it, abuse it, or outright discard it as fits your vision for a xmas letter.Crinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509614055243227248noreply@blogger.com
