Those crazy races are still going to take place. Our one and only entrant has had to cancel his quest for the gold. He says it is because he cannot get off work. I hear the fear in his voice though. There was a bit of a quiver when he spoke. He emailed me.... his typing even shook. Fear? Smarts? Either way, I have a vision of his hand reaching out... oh so far... stretching... trying to grab that gold medal. No luck. It is out of reach.
There is actually no medal to grab. Of course I am just funning him. There is always next year. He can train. He can attempt to redeem his courage. We will wait.... we'll see if he grows a pair of courage production spheres.
One thing is for certain. Sliding down a mountain at breakneck speeds is a dangerous sport. Fire season is close. He will remain uninjured and be available to care for all those firefighters. He will have no large medical bills. His legs will remain straight. His arms will still bend where they are supposed to. His eyes still work, his nose is straight, his teeth are still in his mouth. The more I think about it, the smarter he becomes. He might have actually won the race without even racing.
Next year.....spheres...spheres...spheres! (chanting) Spheres! Spheres!
