  I don't know.  I'm not 6'1"...more like 5'10".  Before I had my hair
tragically hacked off for a *(ugh*) job interview, it was 1/2 way to my
arse.  Many people who meet me assume that I am a "biker" (fascinating
stereotype, that...) because I have a large belly (they assume beer), am
quite muscular, weighing in at 275 (lately...down from 293).  I am, as
one friend puts it, "burly".  I am also about as gentle as they come,
loving, intelligent (I think/hope) and reasonably well educated.  I couldn't
be further from the "biker" stereotype if I tried (well, I suppose I *COULD*,
but it wouldn't be easy).

   Anyhow, to the point (he said, not wishing to be labelled as a verbose
fool):  I share a house with a woman and her 6 1/2 year old daughter.  I do most
of the cooking, because I enjoy it and because I am good at it.  I collect
recipes.  I bake.  I sew (though not so much since the carpal tunnel problems
started).  I am heterosexual (primarily...another story for another time).

   So what's so suprising?  (of course, I have a feeling Andy Beals won't
be thrilled to see this (Andy is the man to whom Elaine is referring) as
he and I have recently traded some decidedly unfriendly letters, and I 
suspect that his opinion of me is at least as low as my opinion of him,
at present)
