Several of my friends have told me you are coming by for a visit this weekend. I can hardly wait to meet you. Please tell my friends I said hello along the way to my house. In case you need directions, it is quite simple. Start on Broad Street, and run all over Richmond. You will pass several monuments, homes, bridges, rivers, and buildings along the way. It is actually a nice trip. Be sure to take a look around.

I also must warn you about my friend Mile 20. To put it bluntly. . . he is a bully. He likes to try to tackle people and give them wedgies. He tries to hold them down on the ground too. I have found if you keep your feet moving he can't catch you. So whatever you do when you get near his house (which ironically looks like a big wall) keep moving!
I should also warn you about my crazy Aunts, Mile 16 and Mile 22. I am sure you have some of these in your family too. Every time you go by there house, they are trying to give you candy and snacks. Right now they seem to be fond of gummy bears and pretzels. Both Aunt's are nuts!
Yes, you will have quite the adventure getting to see me. Along the way, you will probably curse my name. You may even consider not coming to my house. But I assure you, once you arrive, I will make it worth the trip. So, lets make it a date. Meet me at my house this Saturday between the hours of 11:30 and 2:00. I guarantee, I will be waiting for you.
Sincerely,

thanks for the laugh. I will see everyone tomorrow.

I was only semi-conscious when I met "26".
ReplyDeleteAt least "our" mile 26 lives at the bottom of a hill unlike the one in Raleigh which sits on top of one!!!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "Hello"....
