Peggy, a lovely lady from Hope, Idaho and a schoolteacher/ultra-runner to boot, received the most hilarious bits of advice from her 2nd grade students. Her years of teaching tots certainly has rubbed off as evidence by her being the only known person on the planet who says “oh, mother-flipper” when faced with a serious case of heat rash and 7 miles of dunes.
I cured her of that. No worries.
Here’s a video of her reading the letters of advice. You’re going to have to crank your volume. And the audio gets clearer after a few seconds. Cut me some slack- it was on a little point and shoot camera.

Peggy, as usual you are kind, graceful and smart. Lots of other things, but these just come off the top of my head after viewing the video. It is a continuing pleasure to know you. You made us all so proud, and inspire us to greater things!

Well Peggy is so sweet that even I can’t find anything nasty to say. You, Bunni, are not and I therefore can.
Rumour has it that you are planning on dusting me in MDS2009. Good luck.I have been reading Batchen’s “Zen master’s guide to desert survival” and I’ve got it pretty much nailed - no pitiful kidney will stop me this time.
Game on.

That’s Bunny with a “y”, pal.
And Jay as a zen master? Puh-leeze. He can’t make it through the desert without a coca-cola as evidenced on national television.
