a sham

dear alene reta,

i would like to UNINVITE you from my lunch of important people.

i found out today that when an individual enters the st. jude half-marathon and does not specify his age, it is recorded as the numbers 99.

you may have faked me out. but not for long.

you, sir, are NOT superhuman. you are probably one of those freakazoid runner people in the prime of his life who lives on a diet of power bars, gu, and propel. your finish time was impressive, but it was not by means of a scientific miracle. just plain hard work like everyone else. ho hum.

ps: and jim: YOU, sir, are still on the lunch list.
