My good friend Bubba and I try to run "around the block" every Sunday. Our "block" consists of starting at his house or mine and running around the lake, a little over 6 miles or so. No matter the season, we run, usually early in the morning, but some times we give ourselves the leeway to have a late start. Maybe you have seen us. We don't go very fast and we take walk breaks about every half mile. We do it for health, we do it for fun, we do it because we can. Sometimes we talk about important stuff, usually not. Almost always we comment about the beauty of the lake, and the quiet of the morning as the sun comes up.
At a "coffee" yesterday one person mentioned the diversity of homes that make up our community. As we run/walk that becomes more evident. Even at what seems a snails pace (25 mph) in our cars we often don't appreciate the style and appearance of the homes here at WL. If you haven't lately, now that spring has sprung, take a walk...run or jog. Look around and see what distinguishes WL from Riss, National or Tiffany. Nothing wrong about those places. We're just different.

bubba?
Well, not to say I am Gump, but Bubba was his friend. Lt Dan didn't have any legs (in the end), so Bubba it is.
By my conservative estimate, the Bubbster and me have run at least 1,051 miles in the past five years in our jaunts around the lake, not bad for two AARP eligible geezers. Many of our runs have been tracked and recorded by our friends at Garmin.
