shorter by 5 bucks

Alright. So my mouth was writing checks that my legs couldn't cash.

I made a wager with the fella on who would have the faster Iceman time.

Did I really think I could beat him?
History has shown I've been able to drop him once or twice.


Did he really want to take the bet?
Who wouldn't shake on a bet with a smack-talking fool when History virtually has a PowerPoint presentation favoring your odds.


The outcome?
The week after the Iceman Cometh Race finds me $5 lighter in the pocket...and none the smarter. Goaded by a taunting two minutes - the wager stands again for 2012.
This was a good photo finish.
