Sober Gay Poz Ex-Con

That provocative lady is via Balthus, on a boat of Monet's. I like to think this takes place on a lake in Berlin because our naked lady is desperately trying to get Obama's attention!

Yesterday was a good news/bad news kind of day.  The good news was that I got a big subtitle-editing job in my inbox yesterday, the bad news is that is has a very tight turnaround, and I had to cancel my trip up north to see my sister and her kids. (I''ll miss the play they're in.)  I just can't afford not to take every job I can get and do it quickly and promptly. I can't say part of me wonders if this also wasn't the God of Travel and Safety intervening. I haven't been making it until noon without a nap, and that drive on the 5 gets very, very boring. Oh well, as soon as David and I get the house, the kids and the mom get have a SoCal vacation spot.

Speaking of which, that's the other gn/bn. The good news was that we saw a very nice mortgage broker, the bad news was that he called me yesterday and it was impossible not to clear up some items on my credit report without telling the broker about my past, and told him I'd actually done time over some of it.  He turned out to be incredibly nice and understanding--I think he had a few stories about a rocky decade of his own he could have told. He thinks he can work around it.

I am hoping that working with Steven and Mike (still inside) might somehow be burning off enough of that old bad karma. I actually have a pretty elegant plan for what to do when I've made as much money legally as I did illegally.  But I'd rather do it, then talk about it, then talk about it, and not do it. (In any event, it's nothing that'll happen right away.)
