    OK, that's what I thought. I would have to invest in some longer skirts I could wear cycling shorts under or bring a change. It's anywhere between 7-9 miles and hilly, so that means sweaty.
    Maybe that would get me back to going there...
    I did ride my bike to a special service by a pond where we symbolically "throw away our sins" during Rosh Hashanah. It was only about 3 miles from my house and I wore regular cycling clothes. Let's just say it was kind of distracting, especially when the rabbi had to come over and pick up my bike to see how little it weighed .

    Dear FedEx:

    Your green campaign is a joke. Sending a package to Oregon, up to northern Washington, and back to Oregon is at least 370 miles of fuel-burning idiocy.

    In situation like these, I find that some nice golfing clothes work well. Alot of the tops are dressier and yet cooling and wicking. A nice skort or longer skirt over bike shorts or liners and a nice bondi band to keep the sweat off the face and the hair in line--and you're good to go!

    I have a couple of "polo" style casual cycling shirts, and yes, I've seen some of the cool looking golf clothes in the Athleta catalogue. I think my Athleta "whatever" skort would be perfect, I wear it to work. But, I just can't ride without chamois. My azz and other parts just are not tough enough.

    Dear Dishwasher Repairman #2,

    Please fix my dishwasher and don't charge me too much. The first guy apparently didn't know what he was doing the three times he's been out to fix it, and I've already dropped way too much cash into this thing. I certainly won't use them again, even though I try to support local businesses. I've basically not had a consistently working dishwasher since December...I grew up without one so I do know how to wash dishes in the sink, but I sure prefer to have a dishwasher!

    If its a big fix, I might as well get a new one, and it most likely will not be another Bosch.

    Signed,
    Madge

    Dear former coworker. I no longer work there, I am not available to answer your work related questions. Our fine employer did not see fit to give me the promised promotion, so I left. I'm certainly not going to work for free now. Stop emailing me with light breezy messages, then drop a "Oh, how do I do this..." question at the end.

    Dear Friday afternoon drivers. I'll be heading for home in three hours. Please don't honk, yell or aim at me this Friday. Last Friday, you scared me to death and almost knocked me down. Thanks.

    Dear Dishwasher,

    You haven't worked in weeks, and you haven't worked consistently in six months. So why is it, when the repair guy comes out to fix you (or replace you), you suddenly hum along like a new machine? I bet when I load you up with dirty dishes, you'll find some excuse to not work again...

    -Madge
