Last night’s walk was good. I’m starting to consistently walk the three miles in 45 minutes. I began the walk with The Corrs, “Somebody for Someone” and Genius didn’t let me down. Although, I didn’t really care for the No Doubt song that popped on, which I can’t remember. I think it came between Jewel and Dave Matthews, both were pretty slow songs. On the way back home, however, Chumbawumba came on out of the blue and that was a needed burst of adrenaline.

While the extra energy didn’t make me any faster than the others who were doing their exercise (mostly they were jogging or running), it was still nice. I have begun to notice who the regulars are, or at the very least, the ones that are out there nearly every day. It really isn’t the time to socialize, but the odd nod or verbal greeting is nice. My constant silent companion, the sky, kept things cool but could not hide the personal pan sized box of Little Caesar’s Pizza that tried to block me from the sidewalk. No embarrassment from my companion at all.

The sky wasn’t blushing, instead there was a sheet of blue-gray clouds with a sparse break somewhere in the middle where the last of the sun’s brilliance shown. The edges of the sheet of clouds were tattered in a way that made me think of cotton pillow stuffing. Perhaps it was a sign of my impending early turn in? As a matter of fact, it wasn’t. I ended the night at around one o’clock in the morning.

It was a pleasant evening, but I long for colder climes. My affection for Alaska resurfaced and my slumber was filled with a bright, yet cloudy sky and white-capped mountain peaks just beyond weathered homes and heavily garbed people eating ice cream to warm up. Le sigh.
