The Importance of Walking

Journal Entry: Weight = 175.8; Coinage = $.71, 51 pennies, 2 dimes; Glass bottles retrieved = 8; Ground Scores = 5. Continue to play the "seeding" game with the folks in the Century 21 Real Estate parking lot. 26 pennies were strewn through out the lot. Someone throws them, I retrieve them. Is this a one-way game, or is someone enjoying the drama/comedy as much as I am. Concerning the Numismatist's query (http://numismaticallyspeaking.blogspot.com/), even after finding 821 pennies in one location,I still get a thrill in finding pennies.

Feature Entry: This satire on walking is going around: The Importance of Walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
To spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
Home at $7000 per month.

My grandpa started walking
Five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
And we don't know where he is.

I like long walks,
Especially when they are taken
By people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking
Is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning,
Before my brain figures out what I'm doing..

I joined a health club last year,
Spent about 400 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there.

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

I do have flabby thighs,
But fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day
Is so when you die, they'll say,
'Well, she looks good doesn't she.'

If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
Start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise
The last few years,......
Just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older,
Because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

AND

Every time I start thinking too much
About how I look,
I just find a Happy Hour
And by the time I leave,
I look just fine.

You could run this over to your friends
But just e-mail it to them!
