Walk and chew gum at the same time.

I did the up and down, long walk to the supermarket again today. This time to pick up some chewing gum believe it or not. For some reason I am fond of chewing gum while on walks. I've been known to chew as many as 4 pieces of gum on a walk. Amazing. In general, aside from walks, chewing gum seems to displace some nervous energy and precludes me from engaging in bad nervous habits like biting my lower lip. I've been out of gum for awhile now. I'm a wreck.

My mom used to say this, typically when she ran into a woman she didn't find to be very bright, she'd say, she's too stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time.

I happen to be quite adept at walking and chewing gum at the same time. Mom would be proud.

I don't usually buy cold water, I get the room temp water off the shelf. Tonight it was an after thought and I took it from the "impulse" fridge at checkout. It was indeed too cold for me to drink more than a little. The gum isn't that good. I can't recommend it. On a scale of 1-5, 5 being best, it gets a 3.

Getting out the door...

Sometimes that's a hard thing to do. I'm trying to pick up the pace here a bit and get more things I'd like to get done, done. This in order to create an environment which is more conducive for uncovering and discovering and doing what I NEED to do. Today I felt like I was in the middle of a 1/2 dozen different tasks, all loosely related and it was getting late for heading out. But I did, 6:40 I was out the door and I was still thinking about all the stuff I didn't finish today.

Good news on the walk... Graduation day at the school! YIPPEE!!! That means no annoying Jr. college kids at least for awhile. Seriously 18-20, these kids are a mess. Summer session last year also didn't seem to invade my space too much so perhaps smooth sailing for awhile.

Look at all those young people getting an AA degree. I wonder what's next.

The only other semi amusing thing on the walk today was this. I felt some flying insect run into my upper lip and I think it ended up in my chewing gum. I had just put a fresh piece of gum in my mouth so... what the hey, I kept chewing.

I'll leave you with one of the anthems of my generation...
