A cure for cancer would be one thing that I wish has happened when you re...

Subject

Dear FutureMe, Well, big changes ahead. I must leave the US because the fascist US government will not allow my same-sex, Japanese partner to be with me. We are close to acceptance as permanent residents in Canada. We look forward to this. Canada may not be paradise either, but living with my partner/lover/companion of ten years ought to be a basic right.

For the end of 2006...

Dear FutureMe, How's the writing coming? I hope you managed to get yourself in a routine where you were spending a few hours a day banging on a keyboard, and that you stuck to this routine for at least a few months. Because that's the only way you'll ever know if you have a good book in you. And it would be a shame if you never find out. I also hope the investments I made for you did reas...

Winter Solstice Eve

Dear FutureMe, Do you remember today? Have you forgotten yourself already? You were miserable at your job -- your editor snapped at you and you still haven't had a chance to write a decent sentence since November -- yet you decided to turn down another job offer. It was the tedium that persuaded you. No need to trade one tedium for another. Once you made the decision, there was that ...

Dear FutureMe, I was given this link from Josh, so thanks to him :) I just got one baby down for a nap and still working on the other two. The problem is, that even if I get them all to sleep, what on earth do I choose to hurry up and do? LOL...there's taking a shower, laundry, cleaning, or just relaxing. As much as the latter should take a back seat, I am really considering it, in form of ...
