Dear So and So

[limewave]

My parents ignored all three of their children equally.

lol.

Now that I'm a parent I realize things just aren't that easy. And there are far worse things in life than having to follow my brother around Going to take a bubble bath and enjoy a glass of wine then be done with it. Too many other things to be thinking about!

Although I've known for years how lucky I was not to have any brothers (achievements done by mere females would just have to be enough ), it's been more recently that I've understood that I was also super lucky that my parents didn't care what I did in sports. It's the only thing I have that's never been anything but mine in my own head. It's possible they're not doing your brother any favors, either ... just a thought.

Brothers aren't always the favored children. My brother (who is gay) was constantly put down and sometimes even compared to me, his 8 years younger sister. Even as a small child i knew that wasn't fair.

Alexis, I wish I could take you out to lunch and let you vent away. I think you're pretty awesome.

Lime, you rock. I wish I had half the gumption you do. I'm all happy when I finish 23 paved miles around a scenic lake. I can't imagine finishing something like the Iceman. Did you meet Horner? I read on a tweet he was there.

Today I'm wondering what to wear to an afternoon wedding at a marina on Friday.

Dear Ankle:

Please heal. Soon. We can not run for a while if you want. But stop hurting. I want to resume exercising and you're stopping me from pretty much everything.
