CURRENT MISSION

To remember my mantra

ABOUT ME

I couldn't live without laughter. I'm very laid back and flexible. I love riding a bike and I do it everyday, I also enjoy bicycle day ; ) I love to eat and to try new foods. I really love to cook, I'm no chef but nevertheless. I like chill nights reading or with a movie as well as going out until sunrise. My brother says I'm completely incapable of completing a NYT crossword.

PHILOSOPHY

If you really love someone, you will make them an ashtray of toothpaste, steel wool and laminated Canadian newspaper clippings from the years 1997-99.

Now......... do you love me?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping under a highway bridge only to be awoken by a passing train at our feet, riding our bikes in the rain until we stopped to drink whiskey in a scrubby patch of trees at 9AM in farmland Wisconsin before riding 65 more miles (105km) or so to reach a national forest where we camped for the night (I had never ridden more than 20 miles (30km) in a day on my bike before this)
