Always at Bayfront Park on Tuesdays (17th St Park is closed on Tuesday mornings).
A lovely walk this morning. It's a half mile journey, so it's good for my right leg - walking increases the blood flow a bit.
Saw once nice guy, never got his name. He races yachts with electrically powered sails at Benderson Park. Our weekly greeting is "so it's Tuesday".
Then it was Toska. She walks with energy. For the longest time we simply smiled, then we said "hi", then we chatted. We like each other.
One day she was walking with a friend. Because the friend was there I felt free to launch into humour. "Toska" I said, "if you were not married and I were not gay I'd want to date you".
We saw Ted. Always amiable. Always glad to see Cooper. Always ready to tell me of the latest adventure with his wife. Most recently a cruise from Miami to Rome.
Cooper and I take pleasure when we see Toni (Antoinette). She had a stellar career in the USAF. Her life took a wretched turn when she was widowed at a young age. Yesterday we sat and chatted whilst Coop stood patiently.
His patience was rewarded. We rounded a bend in the path and there was Bob - a cheerful rapscallion. Bob loves to play fight with Cooper who thinks "Bob you are more fun than another dog"
All this is to say that walking the dog can enable hose human connections which help to bring pleasure to life
