Above: My friends from the HOPWA Program, my home for 2 1/2 years. On my penultimate day with the HOPWA family, we took some time to indulge with my friend Mardi's polaroid.

Above: April, 2000, Magic Mountain. Albert convinced me to ditch work that day to go to Magic Mountain. I was sick as a dog but in the name of a good time, I relented. We had decided to take a photo at one of the costume photo places. Here, we're a pair of Goodfellas. You'll notice I'm as tall as the 5'10" Albert although I'm only 5'4". No, it's not the miracle of photography, it's the miracle of the box I'm standing on. Albert jokingly told the photographer if there was something to make me look less short. Unfortunately, she took him literally and again, I relented.
