    Dear Florida freakin' Legislature-
    I know you haven't been smart enough to keep revenues even and the state budget balanced, and it's now especially difficult with the gov trying to make everyone love him with tax cuts and all; but do you not understand the peril of trying to balance the budget on the back of higher education? Jeez, get a clue!

    Dear co-worker,
    Something is wrong in your head if you think that just because I'm crazy about bicycling that I will laugh at an animation of a cyclist breaking traffic rules and being hit by a car, or that I will be interested in a report about a terrorist who happened to be seen on a bicycle, or any other of those little gruesome tidbits you think are newsworthy.

    Even though we are supposed to work together, I'll delete most emails from you, so if you have something work-related to share, you better tell me in person.

    Dear Powers That Be:

    I have a cold.

    My cell phone died.

    My desk looks like a cyclone hit it.

    Help.

    Dear Powers That Be,

    Please teach me patience. Let me be calm in the face of a domineering ego-centric new employee. Let me laugh it off as "special needs" and not take it as "specially demanding."

    I can only control my own attitude in this situation. Teach me how to control my attitude, before my attitude becomes a " 'tude."

    Dear Immune System

    Where are YOU?????

    Wasn't 3 weeks enough for this bloody virus??? You had to LET IT BACK IN ????
    Just Before Spring break...Just after I dusted off the bike just as I was
    starting to feel like a normal human being again ?????

    Please ask that murky part of my brain to let me know more clearly what it is that I'm doing wrong!!! I'm going to bed as early as I can...I wash my hands a bizzilion times a day, I'm TRYING to deal with my "stuff" and I stopped smoking over a year ago....

    Dear Guy walking your dog off leash while I run by,

    I really don't doubt it when you say "You don't have to worry, he's too old to bother you". That's probably true, but he can still trip me up and I can still get hurt. You probably haven't thought about it the other way around, that I could hurt him if he gets in my way and I step on him, knock him aside, etc. Being on leash is for his safety, too. As I've heard it said "Unleashed is unloved". (Let's ignore for now the fact that we have a leash law in our town)
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
