I took my folks there on a Sunday morning and down in the depths below the fish mongers, I found an Inigo Montoya bobblehead for my son’s collection.

I came here to recommend a couple that doubled as text books when I was in college. I’ll see if I can find the titles but we’re moving and they’re packed. The best one is narratives from before/during/after from Japan.

I hated PE with every fiber of my being. It was running laps. Followed by running laps. And for fun, they'd also make us run laps.

#WriteStuff #Shameless #SelfPromo Here’s a bit of non-fiction exercise from my blog:

Hiking (Parts Of) The Appalachian Trailpamportland.org Massachusetts If anyone ever asks, yes I have hiked the Appalachian Trail. Have I hiked it from end to end? Oh, hell no, but I have strolled, climbed, walked, and tripped and fallen along stretches ...

#WriteStuff A6: I like hiking, but I’m a klutz. Ask my dog. I fall almost every time we go hiking. Her response, ”Are you okay???” and “Can we keep going???”

#WriteStuff A2: My FMC doesn’t prioritize exercise, but she does work outdoors, so it is part of her daily routine. My MMC WFH so he has an exercise room in the house that he hits regularly.

#WriteStuff A1: Thanks to my PE regimen in elementary and middle school, I hate exercise. Yep, you heard me: hate. I don’t mind walking, but it’s tough when I live in a climate that thinks winter should last nine months of the year.

Hello, Pam here. Welcome all to #WriteStuff. I'm the WORST about making time for personal fitness. Why'd I choose this topic? That's an excellent Q that we just might avoid tonight.
