ALMOST HAPPY NEW YEAR1
OK, MR. MARK!! PANSY, HUH!! I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I, A GENUINE SENIOR CITIZEN, PEDALED, MANUALLY (OR IS THAT FOOTALLY) UPHILL AND DOWNDALE, THRU THE SUBDIVISION, ACROSS THE WIDE INTERSECTION, PAST THE SCAREY CHURCH WITH THE BIG LAWN, UNDER THE TREES HEAVILY LADEN WITH MISTLETOE, PAST THE HOME OF THE DREADED GIRL SCOUT LEADER, SHOWING NO FEAR AS I PUMPED PAST THE STOP SIGNS, FIGHTING EXHAUSTION, STARVING AND WITH NO WATER, THRU THE BITTER COOL, UP THE DALE AND DOWN THE HILL, ACROSS THE CULVERT, DARING TO NOT STOP AT SAM’S CLUB, WHIZZING BY THE MANHOLE COVERS, GRINDING EVER ONWARD, HUFFING, PUFFING, BRING PRIDE AND HONOR TO THE GREAT AMERICAN WAY AS I GLIDED THE LAST FEW FEET TO MY DESTINATION - A GLORIOUS ADVENTURE - ALL 10,560 FEET OF IT.
YUP, ALMOST A FULL MARATHON - TWO FULL MILES! FOR MY COMMUTE.
(Yeh, your motorcycle wouldn’t like it - not even far enough to warm it up. But, it was 15 degrees warmer than normal today…. And the new Fuji hybrid rides like a dream. And all of that reliving the epic adventure - think I’ll have a few more Christmas cookies….)
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Y’ALL!!
:-)
