so i get these emails last week . . .

the first from digger

" hi dora, i met a guy running in the ravine today that knows you. he let me go ahead, but i couldn't drop him and he'd already been running for 3 hours. ..... we ran for 1.5 hours together, i was dying at the end."

and then i get one from my sexy running friend ali

"so i bumped into digger in the ravine and we ran together for over an hour before i headed home. why did he think i needed to run hard when i was already nearly 4 hours into my run. the bugger, hope he hurts tomorrow."

and i after forwarding above email to digger, i get this

"haha, i'm already sore." stoopid digger !

  1. Hey Dora;
    I bet you didn't know that in 1972 I held the rope climbing record in Lakefield for about 20 seconds.They had the record posted when I was in grade 9,and I beat it the day we did rope climbing(I had been practicing). As I was receiving congrats all around, the next 2 or three guys went up.Then a guy from Warsaw, (who always wanted to work in a funeral home), went up and beat my time. %#@$.
    Then, my buddy Doug C from Lakefield went and annihilated the record by over a full second, which is pretty impressive considering we are talking about a 4-5 second rope climb.I can still picture it, he was using his arms only and the rope was whipping back and forth......
    Anyhow,I imagine Doug's record still stands.Doug was like a circus muscle man and the girls loved him.Muscles on his muscles.He never worked out.His brother was the same.Very nice guy as well.
    I can still climb a rope pretty well, but I use my hands and feet.
    Bet you weren't expecting that!
