J and I have taken to walking before group, and as I have said before she pushes me. She takes those hills like a bat out of hell and it takes everything I have to keep up. So another group member asked to join, and being the nice sensitive people we are we agreed.
Problem is she is a bit slow. She caught up to us on the last part of the walk - the downhill and flat, and we had to - well amble- and even then she started to lag behind. I am fine with people walking with us, but this was my walk with someone who actually walked, walked with me and talked.
I love walking with anyone - but each walk has a different aspect, some walk fast but don't talk, some walk slow and talk and some just love to enjoy nature and want to savior it in quiet harmony. I love all of that - but with J I get to walk at my pace and talk and she is the only person who I regularly walk with that I can do that with. And now we are going to have to amble? Oh well.
So at group it was mostly the first group, and we were talking about doing some kind of activity together, and before we had talked about doing Kayaking. I was really looking forward to that, and the first group just completely vetoed it.
They want to walk across the bridge - then take the ferry back. Then everyone started going well how are we going to get from the ferry building to our cars - I mean really? When I said why don't we walk, everyone was like - how far is that. Then they said the blue line or some such will take us back to our cars. Hey I have an idea, why don't we drive across the bridge...

Ah, my beloved T3 -always the practical one.
ReplyDeleteAt least she didn't volunteer her pet, TSH, to play shuttle service driver - I don't have a bus license & I suspect the back of my monster truck wouldn't be their preferred choice of ride.
Better idea - meet at the ferry buiding & take a few of the cars to the bridge parking lot. Then when you return, the ferry building cars are used to go to the bridge. Shuttle is what we call it.
T3 said that I, TSH, used to be an ambler (and still have inclinations that way - I love gawking & looking around), but that I'm now a good walking companion EXCEPT I don't talk a lot when I walk. Oh well, improvement!
