RANDOM RAMBLINGS
...Just stuff that rattles around in my head that I want to remember. Rants, prayers, and bad poetry.
Bicycle Race

I got on my bike tonight before sunset and rode out to the service road that runs alongside the airport. I had the road all to myself except for the occasional passing car. When I reached the end of the service road I stopped for a minute to take a drink from my water bottle, then started to pedal back the same path. As I was building back some speed, a fellow much older passed me on the service road. Well, for some reason this pissed me off. "This old fart is NOT going to beat me to the end of this road," I thought. So I pedaled faster...and faster...gaining on the poor fellow. I soon caught up with him, and passing him on his left I turned and hollered, "You're giving me a run for the money!" I scared the bejesus out of him for a moment - thought I saw a quiver in his balance. He laughed, and I rode off with a sick feeling of accomplishment.

You see, old farts can do it, too. And, why are you so competitive? - do you have to be a winner always? I prefer a humble looser with dignity over a cocky winner - ANYtime. But then, you felt 'sick' afterwards... aha!
a: you should have stayed in your groove and enjoyed YOUR ride - or?
or b: accompanied the old biker and got to know him with abit of chit-chat

the moral: ...and remember, HE laughed - YOU were 'pissed off'

who had a better bike ride? He was 'flattered', most probably - right? - would like to see what HIS blog entry for the day was... ;-) [you may entertain the idea of writing a little essay about this 'happening' / interlude - and see it from BOTH sides] *I* would do it but, a lack the eloquence...

Just MY philosophy... ;-)
