Dear So and So

[Flybye]

Dear powers-that-be.

Thank you for watching over me when I flew down the hill at 52 km/h with my front tire unclipped. And thanks for making me notice it 6 km later when I stopped at the store... I appreciate it.

Dear Powers That Be!!!!

Thanks for watching over kelownagirl! Ditto on that from me last year on that decent at 30 MPH. Please do the same for the rest of us this season, too. Thanks for letting me ride without dropping the other day when the teen decided that it would be great fun for him and his buddies to blow their air horn at me. Please tell the three men in the truck that it wasn't a lot of fun to be followed at 20 mph while they gawked at my behind. They could have passed me by - it was a two lane 30 mile and hour road and I know it didn't take 4 blocks for them to gain speed on me! Can I delude myself with thinking that, though??

Dear Self, 45 minutes worth of Tootsie Rolls don't make a nutritious lunch. Dear Other Self, You know you'll do it again, so don't be so hard on yourself about it next time. Dear Third Self, Step IN next time and remind me of this whole occasion so I stop eating them.

Dear Legs - YOU DID MORE THAN YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD LAST NIGHT!!! WAY TO GO!!! You can join in the celebration by walking in a fluid motion.

Me.
