This year, at my work at least, it seems to be all about bikes. Several of the guys ride their bikes to and from work, and the company is officially a "bicycle friendly workplace." They're trying to encourage everyone to take up bike riding. So for the last little while, I've been contemplating getting a bike. I used to love riding bikes when I was a kid. It was my main mode of transportation. I rode it all over the neighborhood, and we had all sorts of shortcut trails through the neighborhood to get to friends houses. But that all pretty much stopped with the whole learning to drive thing. And now, it's been many years since I've actually ridden a bike. Howevuh - lately I have been thinking about getting a bike. What with the new abode, I have a little more space to store one. Plus, I live so close to the Park now, and I could easily ride over there and do a couple of laps. And it would be a fun way to get some physical activity in. Mind you, never in a million years would I consider riding it to work, but it would be nice for the neighborhood. (I can picture it now, me running to the Maverik for a diet pepsi after a ride through the park.)
For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time
