Totally unfair!

Okay, so I decided to go for a walk after we got home from the church BBQ and concert event. Gary and I walked down to the area where I pick up the path. It is close to a school and since Gary had walked with me two days in a row he really wasn't in the mood to do it again. He stayed at the school and shot buckets (basketball) while I went for my walk. There were very dark ominous clouds to the north so I said I would walk fast, watch the clouds and turnaround when it looked like they were getting too close. It had to be over 90 degrees and a minimum of 100% humidity. There was this guy walking about 20 yards in front of me and so I decided that I would easily catch up with him.

How did I know? Well, as I watched him he appeared to be on a stroll as opposed to the power walk I was on. His t-shirt was dry, not any sweat on the back of it. After about half a mile I realized I wasn't any closer to him so I picked up my pace. When I made the mile marker I looked and he was still about 20 yards in front of me, still dry as can be and still looking like he was on a stroll. By now I'm in full sweat, with beads of sweat dripping off my ear lobes and the tip of my nose. I was NOT happy. So I tried harder and picked up the pace one more time.

When I saw I was getting no closer I decided that it must be time to turn around and go back home. I looked at the clouds and just knew that even though they didn't appear to have gotten closer that clouds can change direction unexpectedly and if I didn't turn around right away I could be caught in a dangerous storm. So me and all my sweat turned around and knew we had won!

Well that's my story and I'm sticking with it.
