Hair Graft – One Week Later
Quickie update … For the first time in a week, I’m actually starting to feel normal again. The back of my head still hurts, Nothing overwhelming by any means, Heck, If I’d take a simple painkiller, It’d probably go away. But I don’t, So it hasn’t.

Now I See
I have no problem doing things that I have no clue how to do … I have complete confidence in myself and know that after all is said and done, I’ll figure out a way to accomplish what I want to accomplish, do what I set out to do … Unfortunately, sometimes, that means ……
Phreakin’ Kewl As Hell E-mail
And this … Is why despite how hard it is sometimes to hold on … You should never let go of the ladder. Remember how last week I had to dodge out of this year’s annual golf outting, and how I told my friend Coffee the real reason why I couldn’t commit to going this…

Hugz!
while this article has a warm-fuzzy-feeling about it, it scares me–
“‘If physicians could predict the gender of newborns with ambiguous genitalia at birth, we would make less mistakes in gender assignment,’ Vilain said.”
While this is even more reality that fundamentalists will have to ignore, there is still the attitude that SOMEONE ELSE has the authority to determine our gender and identity on our behalf, and the prerogative as scientists to poke around our brains making that decision…
