Letter to Julia 20130718

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Say Julia, do you do much running?  I'm sure you run a lot, being that you were quite an athlete in high school as I understand, and you have such beautiful legs.  Oh, kickboxing?  I don't know.  I don't do any of that.  I have bad feet.  I haven't done much, or any running in years.  I'm only a little good for standing my ground and biding my time.  Maybe I have a little bit of strength in this chimp-like body to destroy things that come within my reach.  But I don't run.  If you like to run, then you know I can't let you go alone.  I will have to putt along by your side on a motorcycle.  If it's my turn to run, then you can drive the motorbike.  I can probably do 50 yards or less at a time.  Whoops, your turn to run!  Maybe we can bag the running, and go sit at a cafe and have some crushed ice.
