Pod-fading

Hey everyone...or those of you still stopping by to see if there's anything new here. :)

I apologize for the lack of shows for the past 4 months or so. I think I've effectively pod-faded for now and am not sure when/if I'll be posting another show. The Brief Moments of Sanity show was keeping me pretty busy as far as podcasting goes and was pretty much covering the same ground I usually talk about in my shows. I thought that once we went on hiatus or ended that show that I'd get back to this one right away and pick up where we left off there.

Well, that hasn't been the case so far and, even though I've had the time, I don't find myself wanting to do my show when I have the chance.

I feel like I've been in a pretty transitional place for the past few months. I don't want to say it was because of surgery, but the timing is awfully suspect. Whatever it is, I just haven't felt that fired up about trans issues lately and my passion for any type of activism has fallen to near zero. I've even come pretty close to pulling my blog and podcasts off line a couple of times.

That said, I finally feel like the haze of cynicism and apathy is starting to lift. With the exception of Brief Moments of Sanity, I've been lying pretty low for a while and am just starting to look around for new opportunities to get involved. I'm still not sure what direction that will take me in, but it's a start.

For all of you still checking in on me - thanks for sticking around! In the immediate future, I think I'm going to try my hand at blogging in this space. It's not something I've done before so I can't promise I'll be any good at it. It just seems like the most low-key and non-intrusive way to keep in touch with the community right now while I figure out what's next. If it becomes a regular, enjoyable activity, maybe I'll have found my answer.

Speaking of which...I had the pleasure of spending last Friday with Bil and Jerame of The Bilerico Project. Bil asked me if I could write up our trip to Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak from my perspective for him to post over there. I wrote it up today and sent if off to him. I'm not sure in what form it'll end up over there - as its own post or part of Bil's posts about the trip. Once I find out, I'll at least post up a link here if not cross-posting what I wrote in its entirety. It should all be going up later today, so stay tuned...
