Window to the past
.
Today my son called to tell me he was reading a new book about
Robin Emery who had been a teacher of his. She also broke
the barrier for women in the sport of road racing in Maine.
Just moving to Maine, in 1971, that the young teacher I saw
thru my porch window, running out of the school playground
and up the hill, would in one year, ask to run in the Bangor
Labor Day Race.
“Well, my dear,” Emery mimics their patronizing tone.
“You can. Just don’t get in the way.”
She would some day break records and
pave the way for women runners every where.

wondering what

first the puter
then the knee
then the puter again
sigh
but now is mended
along with knee
.
so long away…
seems like a year
and not a month

knee replacement
takes hard work
getting back up and going
one more knee to go
.
time flies
as one ages
places to go
things to do
