    Dear Lost Woman,
    Why do you stop me on a cold wet rainy day at the top of a steep hill to ask for directions to the hospital? Do I have "Information Desk" or "All the Time in the World" printed on my bike? Do I look like I enjoy standing in the rain in the middle of the street giving out directions? Or did you think I was desperately in need of a rest break after that grueling hill? All I wanted was to get to work so I could change into my dry clothes. I hope you noticed that although I gave you the directions you needed, I didn't smile.

    If I could do-over, I'd keep on pedalling. Either that, or give you directions to the bike shop.

    Dear Brain,

    what possessed you to go off on a club training ride when Body was clearly telling you "Hey - don't do that, I'm getting sick"? You should have more sense. As a result, you kept your group back, you were in a foul mood all evening and am now going to be properly sick instead of just glancing by a cold. Idiot.

    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Dear So and So
    I don't know how i got so lucky, but in 1977, when I started dreaming about a guy who I never considered someone I'd date, I not only dated him, but married him less than a year later.
    Today he did yet another of those little things that he does that makes him a keeper. On sunday we are planning to celebrate my nephew's birthday at my house and of course, my mother is being, uh, delicately obtusely annoying.
    I asked her if she was coming to the party and she sent me a huffy note back "well, if I'm invited" At that VERY moment, my knight in shining armor had finished crafting an upbeat, jocular INVITATION for all members of the family. She had to have received it a moment after she'd hit the send button
    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing!

    And he gave me lots of chocolate last night.

    life is good

    get better, lph!! So hard to know when to push through and try to let fresh air kill the germs, and when to lie down all quiet 'til it goes away.

    Here's to keepers and the goodnesses of life

    Dear Powers that Be;

    Thank you for waiting until I had finished Party Pardee before the pinch flat I probably got by hauling over the railroad tracks near the end completely flattened my tire.

    Pretty please, also let the 'pulmonary nodes' found on my sister's lungs be nothing cancerous and be totally treatable. She's been through enough.

    Signed,

    me
