I like to walk. In the park. Quiet, empty, serene, beautiful.
Yesterday, one of the other few walkers had gathered a group of 5 other walkers and told me he had something to discuss. He wanted to form a walking club.
"It will be nicer walking as part of a group"
(Walking is walking, it'll be the same, but less private)
"We can call it 'The Sparta Walkers' or 'Drifters' or 'Nomads' and we can have t-shirts made up with our name on the front or the back, we can vote on that...and we can meet here every other day at 9 am...and of course invite other walking groups to join us"
(I don't always feel like walking at 9 and I wish I were a real nomad)
"I think dues of $15 a month will cover a group party on the last walking day of each month, unless it is already a holiday, in which case it will be the first walking day of the following month. As President for the first 6 months, I'll collect the money , cash or bank check only. Presidents can only serve for 4 consecutive terms unless by unanimous vote that rule is waived"
(I don't pay 15 cents to do what I do for free...and one President in my life is more than enough)
"Dogs can be brought along if on a string not longer than 50 feet"
(Goodbye serenity)
"It'll be great"
(Yesterday was Independence Day...but you'd never know it)
