Personal:

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

"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

Noooooooo!

If you've got it now, there's a good chance we're getting it in a day or two.

I'm so done with winter too. It should be long gone by now. It's almost the end of APRIL, dang it!

Seriously, I appreciate the comments. Misery loves company. I'm hoping for a window in the storm today and avoid the treadmill.

Great treadmill workout. I loathe the treadmill. Almost as much as I loathe the snow right now.
