A nice little walk

I just returned from walking on our driveway - this time I went down to Jill Green's driveway, almost all the way to the bottom! I paced it as 720 paces one way - 1440 round trip = about 3000 feet, conservatively a half-mile round trip, half of which is up-hill (and half down-hill). For me, right now, that is a good little walk. I hope to extend it gradually into something longer and more challenging. My pool membership expired last Sunday and I am debating whether to renew it, or just get my exercise by walking, now that it is getting warmer. I go to the pool mostly to use the exercise machines. My shoulders make it impossible to swim anymore. Today, we were originally planning to go to a concert with John & Cynthia in Holyoke, MA - a concert featuring a Ukrainian quartet, DakhaBrakha. Unfortunately, the concert has been postponed - the group has had travel problems. I think it will now be in early May. So John and Cynthia are going to bring supper here - they are picking up burrito bowls at Tito's, a local Tex-Mex restaurant in the Hannaford Plaza. That will be fun. There is no class session tonight in our Uncanny Journeys course- that is every two weeks, and it will meet next week. Our reading assignment is William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. We don't own a copy so I got a free audio book of it - we've been listening to that. It seems more accessible than Sound and the Fury or Absolom, Absolom. Tomorrow we have an outdoor Hallowell sing in Brattleboro around noon.
