Taking Risks

I've condensed a recent email exchange.

Talk about taking risks...

From: Vincent Hackett

Let's try again next weekend.
What about rockville next weekend?

I would like to ride somewhere, road or MTB

From: Scott Swinton

Rockville.

I want to wear my new helmet and look like I know what I’m doing.

That is – if we aren’t delivering a baby – still waiting…

A friend at work just had a baby yesterday, 5 weeks early...

From: Scott Swinton

We are still 3.5 weeks early. But Ella was 4 weeks early, so we figure any time now.

Have a friend from church at labor and delivery right now.

But, hey, Bec will do just fine without me if I’m out on my bike.

I’m sure she’ll understand.

You're pushing it, hope she didn't read this :)

So, on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 8:04 AM, Scott Swinton forwarded the above messages to Rebekah just for the fun of it:

Love ya. :)

Rockville had better have phone reception. That's all I have to say. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't need a good crash to wreck your bike--you might just find it in a million pieces in the recycling can one day. I know you'd understand. ;-)

Love you, too.

Ya right, you wrote this from her email account and sent it to yourself. Rebekah's too nice to write that...




From: Scott Swinton

Just keep thinking that.
Don't forget - she's pregnant.

And yes, life is full of calculated risks for those of us who like to live it near the edge.
