What is relevant? What is really important?
I'm still aware of my appearance, more concerned than before, primarily because I no longer control it. I have full confidence in Amy's judgement and taste yet I cannot hide all my frailties and diminishments, my boney arms, my distention, my lazy right eye, my ever present mode of transportation.......
Vanity still thrives within me. I consider it a bastion of hope, a sign that I am still in the fight to regain myself. I see it as a goal to again capture my former self, along with my imperfections.
I have travelled while impaired. I can rate a dozen states on their ADA compliance. I have been to California by car, to Peoria, Cleveland and everywhere in between. In November I will drive to Arizona, January maybe Memphis, maybe Las Vegas, who knows what I will see, who I will meet?
So, how I look is important. To me. That is why I have grown this gnarly beard and long bleached to death hair. In my mind I am still me, indestructible and cool. Shock and awe baby, shock and awe!

Tracy, Your appearance the last time we all saw you was, "Huh, that's different". To see you show up with shoulder length bleached dreadlocks, a long beard that's braided, and ZZ Topp sunglasses would truly be shock and awe! In addition to the undercarriage lights on your chair= Priceless! Double dog dare you! haha
