Dear So and So

[maillotpois]

I'm late here - been away for much of the week but PAX I have to say I am so sorry about your friend. Always horrible to hear of a fellow motorcyclist (or cyclist) falling victim to an inattentive driver.

Dear Wind Gods - 3 out of 4 directions?? Really? What did I DO this week to deserve such a work out? Thank you so much, and now I expect tailwinds 3 out of 4 directions next weekend!! :-)

Thank you. It really gave me pause, I was in the middle of shopping for a new bike and it sorta stopped me in my tracks.

Did a lot of thinking and realized I can't give up something I love this much, so I went ahead and got the new bike.

Do what you love and never let anyone scare you into giving it up!

Good statement!

So Pax, what'd you get?

Got an '09 (new in the crate) Yamaha FZ6R, figured I needed to get my squid phase over before I'm too old.

Double WOW - hot bike!

It brings out my inner hooligan. All I can say is I'm SO thankful they didn't have these when I was 16, I had to try and kill myself on a 125cc Honda instead.

I thought being a mom of little kids was a challenge, until they grew up. Son had a 2nd bike stolen yesterday, 3 months to the day of the 1st bike being stolen. Is hard to be supportive while wanting to scream. My telling him he is an idiot probably isn't a good idea.

I don't know how you moms do it. The young man I share an office with is always losing his cell phone, getting his bike stolen, breaking his glasses, forgetting appointments, etc. As a coworker I can watch in mild amusement, if I were his mother, I'd kill him.

Dear Box Elder Bugs,

GET A ROOM!!!!!

Dear friend,

I'm sorry I failed to wish you a happy birthday until most of the day was gone. It wasn't because I forgot about your birthday, it was because I had one of those days that included running around, talking, and putting out fires from the minute my feet hit the floor this morning (and I stupidly checked email before even managing to brush my teeth). Today's date didn't even fully register in my brain until about 30 seconds before I sent you that birthday message a few minutes ago.

I'll make it up to you this weekend when you're finally back in town from your own crazy work adventures. Promise.

Love,
me
