The word of the day is try. Because of KindaCarsick I’m going to try to post more media to this place here. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. 2/28/10 UPDATE: Looks like the woman behind that site closed it down. She WAS in grad school… I will miss her contributions (even if it might have […]

Was in my own bed with Shan – as if I’d slept with my eyes open. Shan had a little puppy – perhaps a Jack Russell – who’s name was Watson. It was clear to me that Watson was Shan’s dog. I asked him if he was training him and he said “he likes to […]

I was taken to mavericks for my first surfing lesson. The pros helping with the lesson shouted boredly that a small shark was coming, as if it were no big deal. It swam by me pretty close and I remained calm. Then it went after me a little bit by trying to bite my foot […]

AIDS/Lifecycle 8 was a mixed bag for me starting with fundraising finishing with the ride itself. – I wanted to raise $5k and made it as far as $3600, which is awesome, just not what I was aiming for. – I had physical challenges that kept me off of the bike for about 160 of […]

1.From someplace extremely high above a city, we jumped. As if skydiving, with thrill and safety.Sylvia led the way. I screamed in stomach flip-flopping fear/excitement.It was scary but fun.A red metal structure made of bars came zooming into view, still very far away from the tops of skyscrapers. I got nervous about landing on it […]
