The next day at work he asked me where I had gone to since he never caught up with me. I told him I took the normal route home and that I guess I had just had a really good day or he had had a really bad one. He wasn't just disappointed that he didn't catch me (or so he thought), he was angry at himself for being so slow. I think it was a year before I told him the truth. I had a lot of laughs over that year.
Nice. New spin on the old Tortise and Hare story.
