That picture of me with short hair isn't me anymore. I stopped playing rugby. I started a relationship with a boy. I gave up the dyke haircut. The cat is also MIA. She disappeared about Valentine's Day 2001.
The first page to go on this site was something for my (now dispersed) rugby team. The second was x-rays of my hand, before & after surgery to pin the bone back together. Yes, the broken hand is related to rugby.
Then there are the pictures of varying hair length. Starting with longest, long, short & the picture with the shortest (no)hair has yet to be scanned. And I'm not sure I'm going to post it. It looked (and felt) kinda funny to have next-to-no-hair. But I learned something. Now I know that it takes 4 months from head-shaving to socially-acceptable hair length.
I was little once. Some say I looked like a lima bean. 
In April, 2001, my .com blew up & I went on vacation.
I sit (=meditate) with the Mid-Peninsula Insight Meditation Center. Well, I used to when I lived/worked in the South Bay. These days, I sit on my own & once-in-a-very-great-while make it to Redwood City. I used to play rugby with the San Francisco Rugby Football Club. I live in San Francisco, California. I live with one cat, Mira. I knit. I volunteer with Zen Hospice Center.
I've been doing a photo-a-day thing since August, 2001. M photo-a-day project has a 'why' and a 'how.'
When I first posted this page, I posted a request for a cross stitch pattern for Elvis, never thinking that such a thing actually existed. But I should have known. After all, there's Elvis on tv, in books, on black velvet paintings, even on shampoo bottles! Cross-stitch Elvis seemed like the ultimate in American kitsch. Well, leave it to a Canadian to send me an Elvis pattern. I have no idea where he found it, but Greg in Canada sent me (in the mail) a cross stitch pattern for Elvis in an Elvis suit. So the moral of the story is that no matter what strange request you post on the Web, it's entirely possible that someone can/will fulfill it. Maybe next time I'll ask for next week's winning Lotto numbers.
