Her Patreon is here if you're including.  The type of care she needs is very expensive.

 

the ncaa and the olympics

Title IX women's sports have made America the destination for elite athletes around the world.  

A friend from Canada is a prime example .. she's been to two Olympics and is aiming at Paris.  She also had a 4.0 with a biochem major.

a serious celebrate is called for - potentially involving chocolate and beyond

 

beyond the bikini

Different styles come to women's beach volleyball.

28 years!

This is the original holiday card I sketched back in 1994 along with a bit of midi. I borrowed a Wacom tablet and made a few strokes with the pen - a minute's worth of work.  The music took longer.  The web was new so I posted it on a server under my desk at work.  I didn’t have enough time or imagination to make some new the next year so it returned unchanged.  The third year rolled about and I would have forgotten about it, but there were a few dozen requests.  From then on it went up every year on or soon after Thanksgiving in honor of the Winter Solstice holidays.  It’s a survivor having been hosted on five different servers over the years.  For the silver anniversary I though about drawing something new and held a vote.  The old card stays - it was unanimous.

Now it’s 28 years old.

Autoplay didn’t exist then so you’ll have to start the music yourself.

Happy Holidays! - peace, friendship, and health to all.

mask up!

This is from Dianna Cowern aka. Physics Girl.  She's known for her curiosity, beautiful presentations of science on YouTube and enormous energy.  Last July, on her honeymoon, she came down with Covid.  Unfortunately she's one of the five percent or so suffering from long covid.  This is from yesterday..  she's only 33.

There's increasing evidence that multiple covid exposures lead to greater chances of getting long covid and having worse symptoms.  It's an inflammatory disease and, as such, can cause havoc throughout the body.   So mask up indoors!

 

 

happy birthday steve!

anything you want.. as long as German Chocolate Cake and ice cream are somehow involved.

Sarah and Canadian Thanksgiving

focusing on fun

Sarah Pavan's beach volleyball partner of five years quit the partnership about a month ago.  The game is one of nuance and communication and, even with great personal chemistry,  it generally takes months of practice for results to come.  Sarah and Zana Muno teamed up for a competition in Phoenix on Friday and Saturday.  Their first practice was the Monday before.  The video will start at the 54 minute mark.  They had won a close first set and are down at this point  (best two out of three, first two matches to 21, third to 15 and must win by two) They put together some dramatic shots to win.   And the shorts ...  this is very rare and certainly not Sarah, but Zana has been known to dress unconventionally.
