That DICK! He KNEW I had been working on my go-devil for the past fortnight to get it tuned up for the races! He KNEW I was going to win. So what does he do?
TELL EVERYONE BUT ME THAT HE HAD MOVED THE STARTING TIME OF THE RACE UP ONE HOUR.
Then when I finally did show up, he wouldn’t even accept my challenge for a one-on-one heat. He KNOWS he can’t win against me!
And where the hell are those bottles and labels we ordered?
You are really too high-strung, Squire. You need to relax
and spend more time looking at the bright side of life through half full, rose
coloured glasses. Throw back the curtains and take a deep breath. It’s a snow
day today. The kind of day to toss another log on the fire, pour a second
coffee and look for a fresh crossword. Don’t worry about the race you missed
because you slept in. I’m sure you would have done fine had you not missed it.
By the way, there is a shovel and bucket of salt by the door
to the bar. We don’t want anyone slipping now do we.
PS: I ordered the labels, they should be in by the end of the week. Make sure we have glue for the bottles.

Now everyone will know your name, “Prince” Thomas. Won’t that be a surprise.
So you’re not the only one who missed the races. Don’t worry. As my new neighbors are telling me, there’s always next year… You are talking about the pancake races, yes? -H. Jekyll
