Dear So and So

[indysteel]

What Emily said. I read parts of Donald's blog when he died and was struck by his openness and honesty. It seems that he consistently approached life with a sense of gratitude, even in the face of difficulty and doubt. He sounds like quite the man; quite the spirit. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Dear life,

Ouch.

That's all I can muster the strength to say.

Mimi, that was beautiful. An attitude to aspire to. I hope to remember those words often enough.

Is there any police patrolling in Portland Oregon! The DD has now lived there for 4 1/2 years and last night her car was broken into for the 4th time! All in different neighborhoods and not necessarily sketchy. This time they smashed out the passenger window but someone must have scared them off as they only got a cell phone, whew and two bikes and two computers were also in the car. The DH told her she should consider stripping everything out - like the radio and just leave it unlocked from now on...

Please tell your DD to not leave anything in the car. That's just inviting trouble, seriously. Car break-ins happen no matter what the neighborhood is like when there are valuables inside.

Dear Life, Universe, Whatever You Are,
Wow, you sure do come in bursts, don't you? Pretty incredibly positive stuff going on. I know the pendulum swings, but right now, it's swinging my way. And no, I won't give in to superstitions and downplay the good in my life in hopes that will repel the bad. Doesn't work that way. Live life, whatever it brings.

In large cities it is considered careless to leave valuables in your car. She should not leave her phone! computers! and the like in her car.

hmm, Spokewrench, I was kinda thinking you were going to offer me your shoes. I see they have road bike shoes in red, but I need something I can safely walk in. MTB shoes are the ticket!

Dear Post Office,

Please deliver the warranty part for my cleats SOON! I am in withdrawal from the lack of riding, and I am NOT going on the trainer this early in the year! Thank you and I hope to find a package from you today.

Normally she keeps nothing in her car but that doesn't even seem to stop the break-ins, one time they broke in and ripped apart her glove box there wasn't anything in the car. This time they had stopped on the way home to have dinner and were parked close to the restaurant it wasn't even late - before 9pm.
