Personal:

born in 1964. married 25 years. one wife one dog

6 ft tall, nation wide

"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka

 

"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of 
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

Loki is Thor's jealous, evil brother.

From Lysa on Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 15:39:34 from 67.166.122.134

And Thor is my boyfriend. Loki always causes problems at family parties.

From Lysa on Sun, Aug 12, 2012 at 15:42:26 from 67.166.122.134

So thanks for keeping Loki busy for four miles so Thor and me could make out.
