Walking to Borders

[kybearfuzz]

After a nap this morning, I got up and decided I needed to do something active. So I got dressed and decided to walk to Borders. According to Yahoo! Maps, it's a 2.6 mile hike one way.

I stopped at Applebee's and had a late lunch (or early dinner). I have to admit that the server at the bar seemed less than impressed to have a rather sweaty guy at the bar. I can't help it, it was hot outside ;) So the food was good, the service could have been better. Oh well.

So I made it to Borders and bought a New Mutants compilation and the latest issue of "The Advocate," which stars LJ's own bigsabu, animbear, and redbeardedblond in the feature story on gay polygamy. Robert posted about it in his journal here. It's a very good article and has a nice picture of three burly bears. :)

After Borders, I made the long hike home. Needless to say that my legs are very sore....

haha, you truly have no shame ;) I just got home from doing a 2-mile walk around the hills of the neighborhood, and I'm icky and nasty, and there's no *way* I would be sitting in a public restaurant like this..haha.

Well, it was in the middle of the day, the restaurant was not crowded at all, so I didn't think anything of it. I was a bit miffed that the bar server had issue with it, because it's not like I smelled or anything.

When I was a server, I waited on all people the same, regardless of how "icky" they were ;)

That's not as bad as...

The three of us driving two blocks from the gym to Village Inn sweaty and gross to undo our workout. The hostess now expects us to be drippy and is disappointed if we're not.

See, I like places like that, where the servers know you :)

Oh no, I do agree with you there. There's no excuse for him making you feel uncomfortable.

A 5.2 mile round-trip hike. That's pretty good exercise, especially in weather that is considerably warmer and more humid than we've had most of this month. Today (Memorial Day) I'm determined to do the same thing. A nice brisk walk along the Kanawha River should do nicely. The Applebee's episode sounds amusing, the "server" seems like a jerk. ("Keep your distance, OUR customers don't sweat.").

Whew! Not sure I'll be doing that kind of walk again, but I like the idea ;)

Thats nothing, you should see all the people here in NY who go jogging through the city in the mornings and then stop at resturaunts to eat. Sweaty pitts and all. They think nothing of it either. I need to find a water park or something because it starting to get humid/hot here.

Ah, I should visit the one here. I'm sure my nearly naked form will frighten the small children away and I'd have the park to myself... MWAHAHAHA!
