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 :)

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.
