walk

Papa is standing at the counter making tea and a fly lands right in front of him. He slaps it just hard enough to stun it.

Stefan: I saw Jonah once catch a fly by the wing!... in mid air.

Papa(as he quickly snatches the fly by the wing): Naahh! Oh, it's not a fly anymore. It's a Walk. Well maybe not even a walk because I pulled a leg off too.

Robert Frost

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

San Diego 2008

We flew in at about 9:30 after a two and a half hr flight. It took us about and hour and a half to get our rental car and find Susan Robinson's house. Then we went out for Thai. It was really a Thai-Laotian-Chinese-American restaurant owned my a Thai lady who fries everything in sugar and syrup. It was interesting. "Ees good foh you" She said about her invention, Strawberry Chicken. Hm.

Made it to bed after midnight and the next morning we were obliged to workout at Susan's garage gym with a few of her clients. "Mini Murph" was the workout: Run 800 m, 50 pullups, 75 pushups, 100 squats, Run 800 meters; for time using a 16 lb pack: 25:48. Good Stuff. Took a three hour nap after that workout. whew.
