Dear So and So

[Kitsune06]

I DO have nice 'battle scars' on my hydrapak from crashes. Generally, as long as I have that stuff (and I usu. wear baggy shorts for short rides. I like lycra, but feel sorta exposed) I feel pretty protected...

along with the 'Dear So and So'...

Dear DGF,
Thank you for riding with me far further than we'd ever gone together this weekend. You look SOOOOOOOOOoooo good in your new helmet, with those hot red sun glasses and endearing smile. You say I have a helmet fetish, but I just see you being safe and looking happy, and it makes me happy.

Yes, it DID make me giddy when you looked at the sandy humps around our campsite and said "It'd be WILD going over those on our bikes!" I just love the idea of you really enjoying what I so love.

You rock so much.

PS.
I'm winning!

Dear teachers and administrators at my 8 year old's school...

He's been homeschooled for the last three years. He's going to take some time to adjust to the classroom environment before he's comfortable performing for you...assessing him on the very first day of school when he's never been in a classroom before is not going to give you an accurate indication of where he is academically. Give him some time and do your best to help him adapt to this huge transition...I trust that once he's comfortable there, he'll do just fine academically.

Hey Brandy, in 6 months when your son is totally adjusted and doing fantastic the school system will re-test him and then they will say "look how much we accomplished with this child in such a short time!"



To whom it may concern.
Thanks for the amazing weather display. We woke up to a wet street and the smell of rain. We drove to pick up our friends in a downpour.
Then we headed to Enumclaw at the foot of Mount Rainier where we did our
practice ride for the uphill race we are planning in october.

The sun was out, the temperature was perfect! it never rained on any of us..
Thank you!

Oh mimi, you're so right. I have no doubt that they'll take the credit. Whatever...just be gentle to him and ease the way, that's all I'm asking of them.
