I remember the day this picture was taken- it was second grade, 1989. I woke up and thought, "fooie, my hair is acting crazy (as usual) and it's school picture day." So I did my usual and threw a bow in it. (I never left the house without a bow). But kids these days don't have to worry about such things, because, according to the NYT, kids airbrush such things. I wonder if they could airbrush a few of my front teeth in, too? *P.S., check out how I brushed my lovely bangs to the side. I thought it looked SO good that way.

Pardon me, but clearly this guy saw my Oct. 11 entry regarding my love of sequins.

The cyclocross series I raced in consisted of three races over three Sundays. I raced in all but the second one, but was still able to tie for first.

Cyclocross racing is a big sport in Europe. The typical cross bike is similar to a road bike, except the tires are a bit bigger and more aggressive than road tires. The course is a loop with obstacles and riders compete to see how many loops they can do in a certain time. I used to have a cross bike and raced little bit, however; I sold it before coming to law school. There was a Halloween cross race, so I put my Hooters uniform over my cycling clothes and road my mountain bike. I came in first in the beginner category, but did not stay for the awards ceremony because I needed to hit the books.Passing guy in kilt.
