    You can always tell on East to West flights when the Rocky Mountains are coming up soon. There is a distinct thud when you hit the air being lifted by the mountains, followed by a minute or two of shuttering. But it doesn't last long.

    In flight WiFi is ridiculously expensive, and somewhat unreliable, but really really cool when it is working.

    Does anybody know of a somewhat slower and much darker version of the Monkee's theme song? I can totally hear it in my head. Wish I had the technical skills to produce it. It would be amazing.

    Tomorrow, like every Tuesday is . It's also , known as . How about 2 pictures, both taken Mardis Gras week, 7 years apart? With it being Fat Tuesday, a dramatic weight loss is appropriately part of the story here, but only part.

    Tomorrow is Madis Gras. That's usually a big event in my calendar, but it has been forgotten this year with family issues. I was once in New Orleans, not on the actual day, but the same week. Doesn't matter much. In the French Quarter, Madis Gras is an excuse to party for a month

    "You are the crazy, but super cool aunt that every young person secretly wishes they had" - Something once said to me by a close friend. If only one thing transcends my life, I wish it to be that.

    I believe that for many, their resume essentially becomes their legacy. We are all way more than the basic facts of our lives. We are even way more than the DNA we pass on. When I'm gone, most of all I want people to remember what made me tingle, not how I managed to pay the rent

    At the MSP airport for a few hours, waiting for my flight back to my nice and warm AZ, A lot of time to contemplate what transpired over the last 4 days. I was hoping for more, but it went about as expected, and I can have some closure with that.

    The dress is sweater material and was about as warm as a dress can be. When you live in Southern AZ, you typically don't buy clothing suitable for funerals in Northern Minnesota in the Winter. Nor did I expect a lot of help bowering clothes from my family.

    I actually wore this to the funeral, itself, with different jewelry and black hose instead of opaque. I was a bit handicapped on this trip with not having the right clothing for the Minnesota weather I encountered. Teal was my aunt's favorite color. I'm the only one who did that.

    Basic communications rules of my dad's side of the family: 1. Appearances are way more important than reality. 2. Be polite but don't show strong emotions. 3. Don't ever confront; be passive / aggressive instead.

    When you have grown up in Minnesota and see the movie "Fargo", your initial reaction is: "No, it isn't really like that". But then you go back there to visit. after living away for decades, and you realize: "Ya, it is exactly like that".

    Can dancing to a song really fix things? Yes, if it is the right song for the moment. This joyous effort by featuring was that song yesterday for me. I think the extent of my joy in the video is pretty evident.

    Sometimes dancing for me is like an exorcism. Instead of worrying about subtlety or artistry, I just throw myself completely into the song, and my soul feels expunged of all the emotional chains that are imprisoning it. I invariably end up smiling when I do it that way.

    With all the discussion about my fashion choices over the next few days, I should add that the weather here might dictate certain practicalities. This Southern Arizona girl really doesn't have the appropriate clothing necessary for the arctic, fashionable or otherwise.

    Yes, I could go fairly conservative here to honor the occasion, but I am still going to get completely bashed, and I will feel like a hypocrite along the way. If I am going to get bashed, it might as well be for all of me, not just a watered down version.

    The main issue here, since my coming out - with the exception of my sister - no family member has had any contact with me at all. And even my sister has tightly controlled the circumstances. Nobody has seen any of me, let alone all of me.
