Lately it's been so obnoxiously hot/humid here in the WashDC suburbs, that we've stayed inside and vegged in front of the TV.Carolynhttp://icre8.typepad.com/40_and_fierce/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-58541313575303159592008-07-22T15:53:00.000-04:002008-07-22T15:53:00.000-04:00Yay!

He loves it, I get eaten alive by mosquitoes. I don't imagine I burn a lot of calories - well until he gets spooked and then I have to run to keep from choking him.Rebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-17957206008338351452008-07-21T14:56:00.000-04:002008-07-21T14:56:00.000-04:00I live in the SF Bay Area (Santa Clara Co.) and love to walk after dinner. It's a good way to see what's new and changing in the neighborhood, and exchange pleasantries with other neighbors who we wouldn't normally see.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday evening we walked to the elementary school down the street and hit some baseballs on the field with our almost 5-year old. We didn't walk home until 9PM when it gets dark. That was so much fun, he asked to go again tonight.<BR/><BR/>You definitely need a jacket or sweatshirt though. Hot summer nights are really rare; I think I remember there were more of them when I was a kid.Connyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07742442227395727646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-60290345481519103412008-07-21T14:41:00.000-04:002008-07-21T14:41:00.000-04:00"Nor do we plan to decorate our blog home with cute kittens, unicorns, or fairy princesses."<BR/><BR/>You know that if you did my daughter would demand that I come here more often.Johnhttp://totaltransformation.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-78559734590060225652008-07-21T14:30:00.000-04:002008-07-21T14:30:00.000-04:00Hey Crabby,<BR/>The other night I dropped my daughter off at Guides and was overcome by the need to do just that and, walking through the less trodden field in our local country park, I was amazed to see literally hundreds of cute fluffy bunny rabbits gnawing the grass in the fading light...just about made my night, till I happened upon some 'hoodies' trying to make off with the metal signs by the entrance...sigh...<BR/>DB.diet bettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02032718278607333381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-5773245786075884652008-07-21T14:00:00.000-04:002008-07-21T14:00:00.000-04:00Wish I could "drag" you all on my walks with me!<BR/><BR/>Terrie, posting actual pictures would mean having to take a camera and remembering which end to point, so I guess you're stuck with unicorns. <BR/><BR/>And Holly, the punky teenagers at least sound promising--do they still have Goths or is that over now?<BR/><BR/>And Mary Anne, thanks for keepin' it Cranky so everyone knows what blog we're at.<BR/><BR/>Nitmos, we'll have to see if we can keep up the gratuitious use of the word lesbian in every post, just to make sure the male strippers don't frighten you away.Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-24801778856046570072008-07-21T13:45:00.000-04:002008-07-21T13:45:00.000-04:00We're now in a neighborhood that has a very small-town feel but yet has lovely bungalows to gawk at, so we love to take evening walks to check out the nightlife (or what there is of it).

(That's French. I'm tryin' to get sophisticated. Is it working?)<BR/>We have a dog and a very walk-able neighborhood, so that's the perfect excuse for me to get up off my butt and walk. But we also like to go downtown, nearby, and walk the kids around. There are lots of people around, a bunch of restaurants with outdoor tables, and other folks walking around. And a farmer's market on Thursday evenings!azusmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08833120044345423052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-72254331565722817132008-07-21T12:39:00.000-04:002008-07-21T12:39:00.000-04:00Hmmm.. so the chocolate/marshmellow ice pops aren't good for the evening walks huh?<BR/><BR/>This isn't a bad idea, it's a good way to connect with my teenage children. Ok.. You've sold me on it. Every Mon-Weds-Fri (that I'm not about trapsing the town) I'll walk. Heck, I could probably take the little ones.
