It was a very snowy winter as I recall, and I didnt have a car. My BMW R100 with a Jawa sidecar as my only means of transportation. I would show up to work with a few inches of snow on my shoulders each morning.

it is my 41st birthday. i'm living at 720 n. 7th ave in tucson with my two girls and their dad (now it's just me and the girls). this is my most favorite house i've ever lived in. there is a door to the outside from every room. there is a palm tree flanking each side of the big stone porch out front. the back yard is all fenced, wherei have a vegetable garden and a great dog named dot, chow/black lab. dumb as shit, but sweet and kid friendly!
the weather is warm, which is why we spent the winters in tucson. we're getting ready to go to the gem show and buy supplies for jewelry making and bead selling all summer.
so today, 1/14/05, is my 51st birthday. no kids, no old man, different dog, different house that we actually own, freezing my ass off in northern new mexico, and celebrating with good friends.
