			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have been following me on <a href="http://twitter.com/Calvero">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.plurk.com/Calvero/invite">Plurk</a>, you have noticed me sending messages saying I was writing.  I have been busy re-writing part of my life about what it is like having been born with a facial condition.. well, two actually&#8230; cleft lip and cleft palate.  They almost can be called one since they are related but someone can be born with one and not the other.  I call my story &#8220;Born to be Cleft&#8221;.   <a href="http://calvero.tripod.com/cleft/">Right now it&#8217;s on my old Tripod site</a>.</p>
<p>And, by the way, it&#8217;s not a &#8220;pity me&#8221; type of story.  It&#8217;s just telling like it is.  My aim was and is to give a glimpse of what it&#8217;s like&#8230; to spread a little understanding for people who are noticeably different.  And to have something to relate to for those who were born like me.</p>
<p>Anyway, I decided to use WordPress 2.7 for it (very nice upgrade!).  It won&#8217;t be a blog though, it&#8217;ll just be a static site.  I&#8217;ll blog about cleft related things here with cleft tags (<a href="http://calverosdepot.com/tag/cleft-lip/">cleft lip</a> &amp; <a href="http://calverosdepot.com/tag/cleft-palate/">cleft palate</a>) and add a link from the new BtbC site to here, and also talk about them on my Cleft Club Radio podcast&#8230; whenever I get time to get that up and going again.</p>
<p>When I originally wrote that story, it was over 10 years ago.  I think I was still a newlywed.  And&#8230; well, it was time for me to update it&#8230; having another kid and getting divorced and such <img src='http://calverosdepot.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>I also needed to move it from my Tripod site.  I&#8217;ve been using a webhost for a while now, but with everything that was going on, I never got around to focusing on re-writing my story.  So now I am, and I feel pretty good about it.</p>
<p>Not much really needs to be redone. My outlook on life remains, I think, the same.  But I feel like I should re-write the whole thing.    But instead of it being from a 20-something it&#8217;s now from a 30-something.</p>
<p>And maybe one day I will finish other posts that I have started for this blog <img src='http://calverosdepot.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
