Walking begets more walking, more stairs instead of escalators/elevators, and...jogging and friendship. Taking advantage of the marvelous spring weather this weekend, I walk/jogged around the central park reservoir twice (3.2 miles) on Sat and Sun and felt no pain, just gain--emotionally, psychologically, olfactory (smelling the cherry blossoms). And just as I was bemoaning the absence of horses in the park because of the recent closing of Claremont Stables—I ended up buying a Claremont horse 10 yrs ago and used to ride in the park every weekend—I bumped into an old friend who worked there, who also gave me the number of another old friend who used to work there, who I plan to visit this weekend out in new jersey.
