Day 167

Almost, but not quite. I worked hard to get my steps today – dress shopping at the mall. When I got home, I was so tired that I just couldn’t do the 900 more to reach 11,000. Day 167: 10,092 Steps YTD: 1,501,619 Steps Goal: 1,573,000 Steps

Day 166

This was a perfect morning for a walk, and before 9 am I had logged over 5,000 steps and done 2 good deeds. First, I came upon a cigarette lighter on the sidewalk – walked by it – but went back to pick it up so some little kid wouldn’t find it and get hurt. Then […]

Day 165

Whenever I’m heading to Greece (NY) or others parts West, I always take Lakeshore Blvd. It might not be the fastest way, but it’s definitely the most scenic. Even in the winter, when the lake’s partly frozen and the waves are fierce, just looking at the water makes me feel better. I don’t know why. […]

Day 164

Oakwood Cemetery in Penfield is a good place to walk. Like it’s name suggests, it has rows of beautiful old oak trees. I find that comforting somehow. In this life, I prefer to spend my time in the sun, but I’m thinking that I wouldn’t mind spending eternity in the shade of one of those […]

Day 163

It was a perfect weekend for the Gananda garage sales – not too hot and not enough rain to worry about. The Rotary has been organizing this event for 29 years now, and it’s still going strong. It fact, surrounding neighborhoods have started having garage sales the same weekend to take advantage of the traffic, […]

Day 162

My new book got off to a great start at Simply New York Marketplace & Gifts. I can’t believe I didn’t get any pictures, but this is a great store that sells only items made in New York state. It’s just south of Seabreeze Amusement Park so it was the perfect location to show off […]

Day 161

I made an author visit to the Eugenio Maria Hostas Charter School in Rochester today. It’s a school in two locations, one in the former Our Lady of Perpetual Help school on Joseph and the other one on Clifford near Hudson, also in a former Catholic School. It’s the ultimate recycling – repurposing old buildings for […]

Day 160

If you see a big, black bird flying around today who doesn’t look just right, tell him I found his feather. Maybe I’ll stick it in ink and use it to right my next book. Day 160: 9,082 Steps  YTD: 1,439,981 Steps  Goal: 1,507,000 Steps
