So it happened again yesterday...another I thought she...I mean you...were dead...sighting! So Im sitting in a Starbucks here in Hilton Head, SC doing some work and sipping on my favorite beverage...a tall Pike, black...when four little girls come dancing into the place with their mom. The energy is quite sparkly might I add. They order their drinks and sit waiting for their sugary milky slushy concoctions when one of these delightful humans notices the GIrls on the Run sticker on my computer. I make eye contact with her and do that twinkle thing that Girls on the Run people do so well...its that I know you even though weve never actually met twinkle thing. The red head with the most awesome sea of freckles splashed across her cheeks doesnt break eye contact (and neither do I) says in a kind of tough but not so tough voice, We did that. She points to the sticker. Cool,. I reply. Did you like it? Yeah, pretty much. I ran a 5k. Three of em actually. Really cool, I said. Can I tell you guys a secret? I motion for them to move closer. They do not move an inch. I lowered my voice, I started that eighteen years ago. I wish Id had a camera. All four in perfect unison dropped their jaw and snapped their heads back so that their chins were two inches closer to their necks. Really? the spokesperson for the group continues. I thought the person who started that would be dead by now. The smaller one with blonde ringlets that celebrities pay hundreds of dollars to have says in a quieter voice...I remember the letter you wrote and your picture. And then, like a bunch of card playin story tellin rootin tootin ole cowboys these beautiful GOTR Girls from Kansas pulled up their chairs and we shared a few of our best GOTR war stories. Their mom, delighted with the break sipped on her coffee and put her feet up for a while.
