It feels like a Quantum Leap

To paraphrase my work friend Zimmer, MySpace is not always evil. It was recently, for me, used in a very good way because it led Thor to my door.

Back in college, there were four ravishingly beautiful and saucily witty (stealing your phrase Thor) gals who hung together all the time named Bob, Lola, Love Bug and Thor. Thor was the first to leave and she was sorely missed. She knew about all things related to Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin, could tell you the meaning of Runic symbols and how it felt to be a high school cheerleader with purple hair. She ate plain baked potatoes with Parmesan cheese, always wore jeans and thought Jim Morrison was a poet and saint. In short, she was just really cool.

She was pretty different from old Lola, who had (and has) a tendency to be a little straight-laced and rigid in her opinions. But Thor was creativity and free-spirited-ness on legs and could disagree with Lola and things never got ugly. They were friends. And Lola learned some things.

Well Thor, through the magic of web-enabled social networking, has found Lola and is just a jump down the road, back in her hometown. Can't wait to see her. Look at that face -- do you see what I mean?



In honor of you Thor, here's a song from back then that may as well be about you. Love ya kid.
