What's mildly irritating you today?

Peggy Fleming?

Infini--I;m not making a case for pro or anti athletics. I was just telling what I saw/heard at tournaments, etc. and that I am glad my son got out because his father was the one who really pushed him from the minute he could walk to play, and he did play from pee wee up to college---football, baseball and basketball. He was good; not Olympic good and as for class and grace I'm not sure what you mean there.

There are different paths and choices===doesn't mean one is more meaningful than the other. He quit because he wanted to and I (not his dad) honored that choice and was glad for it. Your brother had a different experience...why do I get the feeling I'm being misunderstood for all the wrong reasons?

Why is this getting to be so hard and so exhausting when it used to be fun and light?

Why is everything a competition, anyway?

I'm crying again. I don't want any more.

First, check to see if your brakes are rubbing the rims. If not, your tire pressure might be low or you are riding on hot, fresh pavement. If it's none of those things you may be dehydrated or just hungry. The sun and heat can take their toll.


Or you could just be a couch potato.
