I Walk Alone
I had planned to walk with my walking buddy, Jean, this morning but when I called to make sure we were on for this morning, she told me she wasn't feeling well. We didn't walk then. I set to work to finish the newsletter, but I regretted losing the walk.
Later in the afternoon, I walked to the library and copied the Wallstreet Journal Crossword Puzzle there, for twenty cents. We had a gift subscription to the Journal, for a month and I discovered the Friday puzzle and got hooked on it. When our subscription ran out, I realized that I could get the puzzle through our library and that's what I've been doing.
It takes me about 10 minutes to walk to the library, so it really isn't far away. When I left the library, I met an artist friend in the parking lot and we talked for about 15 minutes, standing beside her car. Then we said good-bye to each other and she drove away. I walked home alone. It wasn't the hour walk that I had expected to have today, but it was the next best thing.

at 9/29/2004 7:39:09 AM- It only costs 20 cents and even if I can't get to it on Friday, it's still there and available to me a week later. I had considered buying the paper on Fridays but I don't even know where they sell it around here and then I realized that the library has a subscription to it. Easily solved!

Good for you for going and getting your walk in. What a great idea, getting the puzzle copied. Sunday mornings are my favorite time to curl up with a cup of coffee, Bilbo, a blanket, and a puzzle. It's a nice way to wake up.
