Peter The Not-So-Great
I'm very upset.
Tonight my Tri-Team is hosting an advance screening of the new triathlon documentary "What It Takes". The guest speaker was supposed to be Peter Weed - er, Reid, 3-Time Ironman World Champion. That's right: "was". He's a no-show.
Remember how excited I was?: Peter Weed announcement. Let me explain just how neurotically bad I am. Peter is on the cover of this month's Triathlete Magazine and I was going to have him autograph it for me. Last night I was trying to peel off my subscription label but I just couldn't get all the glue off. So at 10:00pm, I drove to Borders to pick up a fresh newstand copy. I picked the cleanest one I could find, and watched nervously as the cashier half-rolled it to slide it over the scanner. The cover is black with Peter wearing a black t-shirt; I planned on going to Staples during lunch to pick up one of those silver-ink pens so his autograph would show up better.
Now there's nothing. Well sure, there's still the movie, but it won't be the same. I bet Tim DeBoom wouldn't cancel.
Stupid Peter Reid.

That's too bad. Was there any sort of explanation as to why he wouldn't be there? I tend to give some leeway to public figures, but still like to have some idea of why, if they cancel an engagement.
Sorry dude..for all your hard work and expectation and a no show.
Hey, aren't you the Mike with the blog?
Mr. Tim
Aggh! Isn't this the 2nd disappointment, this and retirement?
But tell us, how was the movie??
