nice website...i love walking, here are a few random thoughts about walking, i have a lot, because a good portion of my life thus far has been devoted to walking. not sure if this is what you are looking for here but hear you go...
a friend of mine Gillian, is an avid walker, she collects and saves all the money she ever finds while walking (pennies, pesos, dolla bills) and on new years, (wait i think it is on new years...but it could be on a different day) she gives all the money to someone in her life ... a different person each year
walking is my only refuge from myself and the world, on days when i despise everything about being human...every apple, every smell, every chair and shoe...i walk...really far, breathing in with every bit of me and walking
the friendly man in the coffee shop calls me -the walker- when he sees me, (it started because he would see me walking by his house early every morning on his way to work) it has spun us into many conversations, he can't walk, not like i can, for him, each step is a struggle. Everytime i leave that place (except when carrying tea), i run all the way back to work so grateful that i can walk...ahhh
we walk with our feet...feet are freakin awesome...babies still have monkey feet made for climbing..what if we walked on our hands and shook feet...
sometimes while walking a person gets the urge to go the bathroom..on a long walk, this can cause discomfort...while living in a place with trees and fields, it is not really an issue, however in cities it complete sucks, especially if you are a women with a long commute. while in seattle, i thought about putting together a map of public restrooms in the city (i was new and had a really long commute)...and never did but have since heard of a book...the bathroom dairies... that does just that, also i am pretty sure that there are some googlemaps mapping public restrooms too...anyway...
hope all is well and you and mol are making it through the crazy winter...chicago style
hey speaking of crazy winter and walking...you know what is really nice...when you are walking on a city street and it is so cold and windy, and you really think that your legs might fall off before you reach your destination...and then...you cross the street...and it's sunny...
take care...
