Holy crap am I sore today! I thought yesterday was bad. Anyhow, that's not really blogworthy but it sets the stage for the incident that happened today. Due to the fact that my legs hurt I parked at the meters today instead of the parking garage which is a WHOLE lot further to the office. I am very good about keeping up with my meter because I have been ticketed for being 2 minutes over.
Because I knew that it would take me a good long while to get to the meter RIGHT outside the building I gave myself plenty of time....but I miscalculated. I was five minutes behind. I couldn't hurry, I could barely walk. I get outside and I see her. She weighs about 300 lbs and walks as fast as I do. We are on opposite sides of the walk. There is nothing between me and a $10 dollar parking ticket except sore legs and a big fat meter maid. We are in a race, who wobbles the fastest. I look her in the eye. She is a force. I get my quarters out....I am too late.
You all know the rest. The shame and the defeat of the parking ticket. The song stuck in your head.

Thank you for writing, and you know, I'm a heckuva soccer coach (those who can't do...)
