...so, as I have temporarily moved about 45 minutes from my gym, I am forced to resort to exercise by alternate means (aka jogging). Luckily there's a park/lake/jogging path just around the corner for me to indulge. Now, jogging in circles is pretty much as boring as it gets, but over my 3 hour tour of the State Park, I stayed occupied by taking a detailed inventory of the socks, footwear and other accoutrements I could spot on or near the path... i so love my iPhone. Anyway... I have factored in the fact that Memorial Day Weekend has just passed: 3 days that the park gets mobbed by every loud-Salsa-playing, dancing-in- the-jogging-path-while-burning-something-vile-smelling-on-the- barbecue family within 15 miles... and me (nauseated, jogging). This experience has lead me to question the sanity of some of the "shedding" individuals... who, in the frenzy of celebrating the beginning of summer left their clothing at a state park. How do you come home missing a shoe? or a sock? What about when your kid is missing shoes? Socks? Pants? Unless there is some leg amputation going on somewhere.... maybe someone should look into this...
