Still Missing...

[Veronica]

the 4 pounds that left me on DMD. If anyone should find them, please keep them or pass them on to someone else who could use them.

Thanks!

[SadieKate]

I found 2 of 'em. Who has the remainder?

[Brandi]

I lost three. who ever found mine can keep them too!

[maillotpois]

Well, I didn't see them anywhere on the side of the road... Perhaps they just left in disgust and won't be coming back.

[Veronica]

Well I didn't even hurl them away. They just left on their own.

V.

[maillotpois]

It was Mines Road. Scared the bejeebers out of them. I lost one there myself and I was just sitting on my butt in the car.

[Veronica]

Maybe they are all together having a party, eating nachos and drinking beer.

V.

[maillotpois]

Would that we were - oh wait, you mean them. Okay then....

Well, having them gone will make the Mt. Tam Double just that much more fun. Not that I am trying to push you into it or anything...

[Veronica]

I want to do Tam. I guess I'm just a little gun shy about committing after DMD. I really thought I had it in me to finish - slowly, but to finish. Shall we say the confidence level has taken a bit of a hit.

I'll get over it.

V.

[maillotpois]

You'll get over it. Have fun at Davis. Do a few 200ks. You'll be fine for Tam. You could do it now. The sustained climbing is over with after you do Tam. After that, there aren't any climbs that I can recall that are more than about 4 miles long, and most are shorter.

Of course, in retrospect, childbirth is looking like a magical experience....

LOL! Crazy girl! Of course you're a great mom so you have my permission to have more.

I really wish I could decide who was allowed to have children and who was not; or that I had a time machine so that I could slap some parents up the side of the head when they started allowing their little darling to run the roost. "If you only knew the monster you're creating!" I'd scream at them and be on my way after giving them a good noogie.

V.

Yeah - you are in a position to see the best and worst, I'm sure.... I can just imagine some of what you see from what I see just volunteering at school and working field trips. And what I hear from PP.

And I have to say, sometimes I am the worst mom in the world. Sometimes my patience just goes and I am fried. But I am really trying. Sometimes it is tougher than being in a jury trial, though. She's smarter than most juries and she never forgets...

[Veronica]

Kids aren't perfect - who is? But in my "perfect" world, they would have compassion for others and a sense of responsibility hard wired into them. I don't care if they can't spell goes (gose) or tell me what 3 X 7 is if they have those other traits.

Mine are sneeking back because the bike is missing. Oh well, the bike'll be back soon. That'll scare'em off.

[Trek420]

I just sent you the tracking number, sorry for any delay.
