Sadly, Arisia last year was the start of when I was getting really sick, and my memory was spotty for several months. I'm sorry I've forgotten. But I'll have more bourbon this year at Arisia, and if you find me, I shall share again!
And the terminology is quite right. Granted, I prefer male pronouns myself, but my wife gets upset if people call me her husband because it messes with her self-identity, and I'm perfectly good with that. I've just always gone with "spouse" myself, but that's partially due to my French heritage. The word translates to "spouse" for both genders (even though there's a masculine and feminine version of the noun), not different words for husband and wife.
Okay, I'm rambling. That's the drugs talking. LOL.
Either way, here's go good outcomes for all of us next week!
