The tales, anecdotes, and fables might actually be true. Rapunzel really did let down her hair. Humpty Dumpty was put back together again post-fall. San Franciscans really aren’t #Weatherproof.
It was something we joked about. An NP fable. November Project California? They might be fast and fit (well, it seems like San Diego is too busy throwing snowballs and making weird faces) but are they weatherproof? When it really comes down to it, will they hold to their #VERBAL and #JustShowUp?
Truth?? If you think you can’t handle the truth, DO NOT keep reading. I BEG OF YOU, STOP. PLEASE. DON’T. CLOSE THE BROWSER AND NEVER ATTEMPT TO READ THIS SAD TALE. IT DOESN’T END IN HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
Sorry for yelling. This is the story of the traverbaling Perry:
It was a dark and stormy forecast. Perry had donned his peacoat in advance in an attempt to rival Dan Martin, male fashion icon. Perry loaded up on coffee (double dose), and looked down at his phone for long periods of time…to find this Friday’s workout location and subsequently VERBAL (for now, I’ll ignore the others that did the same and possibly maybe probably didn’t show up).
He even went as far as to inform me of his VERBAL…
I can’t say I wasn’t excited. The man usually brings an air of certain excitement with him. A passion for NP, for supporting others. That all came CRASHING DOWN today.
That passion: sullied. The support: sullied. November Project SF: sullied.
What happened Perry??
We’re just as surprised as you. Ok ok, you may have been a cute kid…but this morning you MUST have been lost, spending your time trying to walk through walls.
Maybe things got a little crazy on your flight?
But then I’m also suspicious why someone as gregarious as yourself didn’t find a runpool friend. You ARE on our FB social page an awful lot. Someone probably would have even taken a picture for you. Less struggle that way.
You did mention that you wanted to sneakily surprise people…but not everyone likes that. You should have learned your lesson…
Alas. Maybe you were lost in Rock Creek or on the Potomac…
Is it possible you fell into the pensieve while Dumbledore O Laoghaire was teaching you about half-assed sprints?
Or maybe you’re injured…
Whatever happened, what matters is that Perry DID NOT show up to this morning’s workout. He DID NOT follow through on his VERBAL.
In the end, we’re not mad…just disappointed. Perry, perry disappointed.
WE MISSED YOU, PERRY.
P.S. Dear November Project SF, please educate your tribe on the consequences of traverbaling and then breaking said traverbal. Sincerely, DC
