My swollen knees, nascent blisters on my feet, and sense of accomplishment are testament to my long walk this morning. I got up just before 6:00 am, put on my shorts, t-shirt, and walking sandals, grabbed a bottle of water, and headed out the door. A took a brisk walk to the nearest Starbucks, got the 'grande' size cup of dark roast coffee, and headed south down a major street for about 3/4 mile, then back west, and then meandered north back to the area where I live. By the time I got back to my subdivision, my feet and knees were complaining, but I had no choice but to keep going. As I neared my house, an hour after I left, I saw a neighbor outside, trimming the grass encroaching on her flower beds. A 'westie' puppy was at her feet...she picked it up as I approached, she said, to avoid having the dog get wet grass clippings all over me.
After a 20-minute chat, I got home...just a few minutes before my wife got out of bed. Now, after a shower and shave, I'm ready to get out and about, so this blog will have to wait until I'm in the mood.
