In 1996 while driving some backcountry North Carolina road a Man crahsed his car something terrible. When they took him to the hospital the police determined that he had beeb driving under the influence. Unfortunate indeed as now not only was he injured but he had been arrested.

Apparently he had hit his head so hard that when the police asked him for his information, he told them MY information.

Fast forward 13 years later I go to renew my license and they would not do it. They said I had to resolve my DWI and my failure to appear in North Carolina first.

So I had a hard time finding the time to go up and handle this. On top of it all I was not happy not one bit about the fact that I had to spend money to resolve this.

I raced xc for 10 seasons. Made me a pretty aggressive XC racer,I learned the importance of that initial bunch sprint and how to dive into the smallest pocket to edge someone out into the single track. I tend to drive like I race sometimes.

One particular morning, I got pulled over. The cop was not impressed by my aggressive driving, BUT since i had technically not broken any laws he pulled me over not for a ticket but for a lecture. Till he discovered my license was expired and threatened to "haul my ass to jail".

So the time had come to resolve this matter. Tuesday aftet spending a fantastic weekend throwing and hosting a slumber party, hosting and hanging with WP and CHoko Brown, i packed a day bag and took the marathon drive to Durham North Carolina.

I drove, slept, drove slept, till I stopped at a rest area about 50 miles away and called it a night. I got to the court on time and sat there all day.

Eventually, I was the last one called up. And after some bantering and legal mumbo jumbo, we determined that they didnt have any pictures or prints of the person who used my info, so they dismissed the case.

The drive back was long and I decided to break off on a secret mission. Drove Past Charlotte, ashville, Atlanta and even discovered that Alabama is not flat. This afternoon I finish the drive home and jump right back into my fun filled life...

Awww the Marathon Miles are Marvelous...
