path

It was strangely quiet this chilly Monday morning when I was out walking the dog. I usually encounter some people crossing the main hallway with their "mapps" coffee on their way to the offices next door. Today the hallway was nearly empty. Outside, except for the bus transit station daily hubbub, the west side was deserted. Is there a holiday I don't know about? A personal day taken to sleep in? Beginning of vacation season? What's up?

The Greenway is, as a rule, pretty desolate when the temperature is below zero, so no change there. However, there was a very perky bike rider giving me a hearty "good morning" greeting as he pedaled past. Typically the bikers and the walkers do not speak. It's just how it is on the Greenway! Only the bi-peds speak! Then, I heard faintly though my hood someone singing. As he grew closer I could hear he was belting out a Beatles tune as he rode his bike east down the path. I love it when I witness that sort of uninhibited behavior. If you feel like singing, do it!

Quote of the day from Ellen Glasgow;

"Nothing in life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it."

take care.
