Here's another benefit: I got to eat a tasty cuban today and not feel guilty! (I'd make a joke about how I had a sandwich, too, but that would be rude :wink: ) I'm trying to keep between 2250 and 2000 net calories per day - that's food minus excercise. I'm doing pretty good since I started that goal...

Thanks for the encouragement Big Phil. I'm not sure I've reflected enough on that quote to agree with it fully, but I do agree that a walk is a great time to think. In some small way, but not completely, a walk can get to be like the first time I experienced meditation. I went with a friend to this ...

Wow, Deb, you mentioning your studio reminded me of something. There was this girl... (sigh.......) There was this girl, and she used to have a studio in the west 70's off West End and a long time ago, before I lived here, I came to visit her. One of those days she took me to one of her favorite loc...

(This is an email I wrote to a friend about my walk today. Somehow it turned into a jazz and modern dance review. It's long. It might be boring. But it's what I saw today. You can click on the TinyURL to see a Google Pedomap - it's 8 miles through Harlem and the Upper West side with a stop for a jaz...

Yup, tinyurl is very cool. It lets you make a short easy to use URL out of these long cryptic URLs that various web sites can generate. They are much easier to type and send around, as sometimes line breaks mess up the URLs when you are copying and pasting them, and retyping these long crazy URLs is...

I love that it gives you a tinyurl for your walk.

Here's mine from Sunday:

Hi Reinhard. Yes, I fixed the error just now. I noticed it as soon as I logged in. Caleb's first link is to Kevin Walsh's site, and I must have jumbled them up in my brain. Walking the park is a great idea, but I'm sort of sticking to the Dr's definition of the places to walk - a street, open for ca...

Hi Deb, I don't think I can answer the why. The glib thing to say is "Because it's there." It is a major goal. But it wasn't until a friend said "Who cares if you finish" that made it easier to start, if that makes any sense. To see the island? Get in better shape? Learn things and see things? Perha...

I must be. Friday I stumbled across Caleb Smith's site, via Boing Boing. And here, via links on Caleb's site. I'd been kicking around the idea of taking a long stroll through Manhattan. A long, long stroll. From reading Caleb's site, and Joseph D. Terwilliger.PhD's site, and with some not so gentle ...
