Are you lost? I had to ask this couple last night on my walk. They looked lost, looking at signs and possessing a general look of lost on their faces. The couple answered, "No were fine." As I walked away, I heard the woman say to her partner, "why am I not losing any weight with all this walking" and I realized that they were... out having an evening of strolling, ambling, making ones way, moseying, promenading, rambling, sauntering, stretch one's legs, taking a turn, toddling and wandering.

I'm not kidding. I thought I walk fast until last September while at the beach. I went out on my walk and I looked up and saw this guy walking along at a great pace and I thought, I'll just catch him to push myself a little harder. Well a couple miles went by and I was barely making up any ground on him. Wow, he's fast. Then he crossed the street and disappeared. I was crushed. No one had ever been able to out pace me.
