ok, so mean mamma has had a wicked witch experience. tonight was the 20th annual twinkie run out buster pike north of town- the twinkie is a concept event- you, or you and a partner, estimate your time for a 6.2 mile run, and then you run without a watch. the person or team who comes closest to the estimated time wins......the event is always in min june, on the hottest day of the year, when i have no interest in walking let alone running. i have partnered with ernst in the past, but this year i opted to ride a bike as cayle's chaperone. ernst lent me his mother's raleigh 3-speed, which is an upright model with a basket. i kept hearing miss gulch's theme music as i rode that bike down the road-if only i had her outfit and her nose........not that htis image has anything to do with my feelings for my departed mother-in-law- but the bike is certainly wizard of oz caliber.......
