walk 22. the seattle freeze

first off, the seattle freeze is real. on my walk today i passed a normal looking couple and said, "morning" and they literally cringed, put their heads down and walked past.

i am my father's daughter. i say hi to everyone. (or maybe i'm just from california.) it's so unnerving to go walking every day and always (well pretty much always--i think i've walked past some other cali folks) say hello first. and sometimes get a response and sometimes no. they usually seem startled. it's so weird. i am less than 2 feet away from you and we are walking past each other on the sidewalk. how can you pretend i'm not there?

anyway...

i'm already back. almost usual walk done. 50 min, 3 miles.

how did that happen, you ask? didn't e have a church mtg??

well, this is the day my walks start to benefit him. he slept in because he stayed up too late first working, then watching that zombie tv show (to unwind. for reals.). when he finally got up he stumbled out and said something like, "don't you have to go on a walk? i'll miss my meeting so you can go. it will be fine. i can go at 10:30."

glad to see you're on board, hon (but i already knew that). see? daily walks are good for everyone.
