Dear firemen of HBFD Station #4,
Thanks for the ride home this morning when I flatted in front of your station and despite my best efforts to fix the flat, my bike just didn't feel right.
Love,
The girl in purple

Dear Yard-sale shoppers,
Thank you for being friendly and not running me over as I weaved my way through all of your cars at the gazillion yardsales in town this morning. Some of you even said "hi" and smiled.
Thanks for that!
Gratefully,

Dear bowels,
You're acting funny the past week. It's probably something I ate, but....KNOCK IT OFF. You may think you're going to flare up on me, but that's just not an option. I'm still working on that organ exchange with someone to replace you. I hear someone is shopping around for a new pancreas. Watch it.

Dear Gastro-intestinal system,
Thank you for calming yourself down. That was quite a wild ride this weekend. Shall we agree to NOT do that again anytime soon?
Thanks, ever so much,
THE REST OF YOUR BODY
(PS: losing 4# was nice. giving me back my appetite so I'll surely gain it right back, not so nice.)

Dear Manager,
There is no need to talk to me like I'm a 7 year old.If I make mistakes on my report, you do not need to circle them in red and then show them to me.
Also, please make a note that more detailed reports and longer meetings do not get the work done any faster.

You do not have to get defensive if you've made a mistake. Nobody wants your job - thats why you have it. So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get back in your #$%$# office and let me do my job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regards,
Your humbe employee
PS: My bike is on my car and my biking clothes are here in my office - a couple of more hours and I'll be outta here like a flash!![]()

Dear Betagirl,
I'm probably going to have nightmares due to you and your monkeys.

Dear Pavement,
What in the name of all that is right were you thinking last week when you tripped me up and made me crash????? What did I do to deserve such pain & suffering???
Don't you know that I have my first week-long ride coming up in less than three weeks and I still can't hang on to my handlebars? I'm going crazy here - I simply can not tolerate another agonizing mile on my trainer when the weather has finally become a thing of beauty.
I yearn for the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. I sincerely hope my human sacrifice of blood, skin and fat tissue is pleasing to you so that I may ride unafflicted the rest of this biking season.
