spring is coming...

To contrast the previous post that might indicate I do nothing other than eat and watching the occasional movie (this week occassional, other weeks frequent) Alissa and I did take our 2nd walk of the spring yesterday. It is now light enough out that if I come straight home from school and Alissa is waiting and ready and we leave right away, we have time to get to the park and walk 6-7 laps before it is dark enough and nippy enough that we need to head home. So with a 1/3 mile track around the park plus 1/3 mile there and back that ends up being almost 3 miles before the sun goes down. We wouldn't be so concerned about getting home before sunset, however there are some characters at the park, and who knows what they do after dark. Yesterday there was a guy with a bicycle tire hung in a tree that was making his big, nasty, well-endowed-in-the-fangs-department doggie jump up and grab onto it and hang on till he tapped his nose with a twig. One time the dog held on for a lap and a half. We walked half a mile in the time that dog was just hanging there snarling. I just kept thinking, "if that thing could hold onto a tire with only a couple moments of break between jumps for an hour... what could it do to my leg?"

So, you see, I eat food AFTER I do interesting things like walk in the park and watch people train vicious attack doggies.
