Walk, Uber, walk, Uber

Back of credit card
This tactic requires the card holder to present a photo ID. At the Post Office, a signature trumps a picture.

 

Walked two miles to Post Office.

Uber four miles for lunch.

Walk 1.5 miles to and through Muhlenberg College.

Uber three miles back to Nursing Home.

Uber is redefining a taxi company. We had two super enjoyable, easy and efficient experiences.

The Post Office wouldn’t accept my credit card unless i signed it. Using self-control, i didn’t say a word and simply paid nine dollars cash.

Do old organizations and old people focus on fear and just accept mediocrity as their only choice? If you’re older than 30 and you are not exercising regularly, can’t touch your toes, and always take an elevator, maybe you still can change.

PS. You can. But will you?

A walk in the park

A walk in the park Sunday morning was leisurely and enjoyable. We had no pressing issues to handle. We had time on our hands.

The challenge is what to do on the 99.9% of our days when that is not the case.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

First business trip as a non-runner

Adjacent to my Hotel.

 

First business trip as a non-runner.

Two things: Still a runner but on an indefinite break and i’ve temporarily replaced running with bicycling.

What to do then when far away from home and far away from a bike?

Walk.

For an hour or more.

Through the city.

If you can walk, walk

Geese in v formation
Walking out of the Best Western parking lot yesterday. If you can fly, fly.

 

Geese in v formation
When they fly together versus solo, is that “public transportation”?

 

If you can walk, walk.

Walked to and from school yesterday.

Most students here do the same.

It’s a phenomenon that disappears when when we become a full-fledged adult.

Yesterday marked the half-way point of the 10-day course of Amoxicillin. It was a rest day, but felt a need for movement.
