As you know, I don't use the Bravenet site any longer.  I have all my new work on my www.7thwoman.blogspot.com site as well as my perpetual entries at www.hockeybuzz.com.

So much has changed in the FOUR long years since I started this Journal.  The biggest change is the fact that the reason I actually created it basically no longer exists.  The Islanders Community that spawned this no longer welcomes me for reasons I can't truly comprehend.

It's odd when DIVORCE tears friends apart.  Especially when it's not even my own damn divorce this time.  But, well, sides must be taken, lines must be drawn and I seemed to be on the opposite side of them.  The message board that was my home for so long has now turned into a daily battle resembling the Hatfields and the McCoys.  The trouble is, I am the only McCoy in an internet playground of Hatfields.

So, from the saftey of the internet, tucked behind a computer screen, sitting in the dark they lie in wait for me to say something that can be ripped to shreds and used as fodder for ridicule.  Nothing is safe.  No topic untouchable.  If I say Black, the response is White.

So flex your internet muscles you barbarians.  Complain and whine about everything.  The truth will come to light one day and then you'll all be sitting there saying... "Oh.... Shit.  I didn't know THAT."

Exactly.  Just remember... you're all part of the book in my head that is closer and closer to reality.  It's taken me ten years from the couch to the press box.  It's been an interesting trip to say the least.

 Oh, and BTW, The Queen is doing just great.  Beautiful as ever and happier than she's ever been.
