Race Previews

Reeses, M&Ms & PhDs in Minnesota Nice....

reesesLake Waconia Preview - The Caller ID read, "Trudles."

"Hey sweetie! Whuzzup?"

"Will you stop at Holiday on your way home?"

"Sure, what do you need?"

"Either Reeses or M&Ms. I can't make up my mind."

He smiled knowingly. "What are we celebrating?"

"I saw Lake Waconia's start list on your monitor. Wow, whatta field!"

He smiled again, bigger this time. "Yeah, I got pretty excited myself when Marvin sent me the spreadsheet."...

Moments later he stopped at Holiday, the sour memory of his dentist appointment replaced by an infusion of shared spousal joy. He purchased a bag of Reese's, the largest one they had, and a bag of M&M plains; the Big Boy three-pounder. For his son he got a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew. Ian should be part of the celebration, too, he reckoned.

He wanted to buy himself the 17 ounce bag of Holiday Pantry Spicettes, which are even better than Brachs, but thought better of it. He hadn't eaten anything too junky, with the near-constant exception of aspartame-rich Diet Dr. Pepper, since April, when the scale at the doctor's office disdainfully told him that he weighed 195 pounds. He grabbed two 20 ouncers of The Dr. and got in line at the checkout counter.
