Some facts about the Wingman

So I have talked about my Wingman in my posts, but I am not sure I have given much insight into how important he is to me. Perhaps you can gather that from my posts, but just in case, here goes:

  • He hasn't complained that almost all of our vacations over the last 6 years have revolved around races....
  • When I decided to stop working and return to school full time, he stood by me........
  • He has an uncanny ability to know when I am about to get myself into trouble (such as walking into a bike shop alone) and calls me. I swear I think he's psychic.......
  • He spends his weekends running or riding with me as I train for races.....
  • He gets up early on race days and packs my bike and bags in the car (and only occasionally reminds me that I made him get up early on his day off)......
  • When I come home from school or work too tired to cook, he takes me out.......
  • When I am sick, he brings me my favorite pillow and quilt so I can be comfortable on the couch.....
  • He's smart enough to know that power tools and I are a bad combination so I have been forbidden from touching them.......
  • Even though many of my ideas are probably crazy, he will rarely tell me so......
  • He reminds me daily that I can do anything I set my mind to......
  • He greets me with a smile each morning when I wake up and each night when he comes home.....
  • He laughs at my stupid jokes......
  • When my legs, back or neck is sore, he will rub them until I feel better.....
  • He understands my needs for new toys (as long as he is the recipient of my hand-me-downs).....
Hopefully now you have a good idea of what a wonderful person my Wingman is. I probably couldn't do 1/2 of what I do without his support.

  1. I have never met the “Wingman”, but he sounds like a great guy!
    To show your appreciation, perhaps you should……..

    1. Buy him Trek Madone 6 series
    2. Give him permanent control of the TV remote
    3. Allow him to go to Spain for the “Pamplona Running of the Bulls”
    4. Allow him to eat bacon and ice cream when ever he wants!
    5. Take the garbage out to the curb for pickup (Tuesdays & Fridays)

    Thanks,

  2. Wow, all that?!?! And you can FORGET about #3. Not gonna happen. You stand a better chance of jumping over a fire pit than doing that. ;-)

    As far as #4 goes, what about cookies and cake?
