Well, my stroll through the Boardwalk was leisurely. The ocean and the girls were to be viewed as God intended.

Spoke with a few others near the light house, Natural Bridges and at a restaurant, where I enjoyed some awesome lobster enchiladas.

Walked through the Boardwalk again. Beauties on the beach playing volleyball. Got distracted.

After passing through the boardwalk, stopped a burger joint I like. Had a couple fries and a diet coke, struck a brief conversation with a gal. Purdy.

Then trekked to Capitola Pier.

At the end of the pier I enjoyed another Diet Coke, with lemon and took in the expanse of Monterey Bay.

I thought to myself “What a great day!”

Walked into Capitola Village and at a restaurant stood patiently to inquire about a martini.

The two young ladies at the maitre de podium were talking about something and appeared to ignore me.

One turned after a minute and said she would be with me in a moment.

I told them to take their time.

They smiled and talked about something unimportant.

After a few minutes they asked how many in my party.

I asked where I could get a nice dry martini.

One of them escorted me to the bar and said I could order there or take one on the patio and she would be happy to bring it to me while I enjoyed the sunset.

Told her I would be on the deck. She said she would find me.

So I found a great seat next to the canal, which afforded an excellent view of the bay.

A few minutes later my drink arrived and the beautiful gal who had assisted me on the way in handed it to me.

I enjoyed my drink and the sunset.

Total time enjoying the day= 7 hours.

Miles were scored on my fitbit pedometer and my cell phone app.

Oh, WOW!!! What a wonderful day that sounds like! Talk about recreational fitness! {^) For so many people, staying fit is a chore about as fun as vacuuming or doing laundry. For me, it’s all about fun. And you too, apparently — WHAT A FABULOUS DAY you described! Will re-read for that pleasant image to sink in my brain!

I was walking home from school at the age of 7.

The judge, Kathleen Watanabe, ruled that the punishment was “old-fashioned” and inappropriate. She said that it is dangerous for children to walk alongside the road due to potential pedophiles.

The same pedophiles that liberal judges set free to prey on society.

“It was a form of punishment no longer supported by the community”

So what law did he break?

I did perfectly fine on walking home that first day of kindegarten, until I was almost in sight of my house, and then for some strange reason I blanked, I made it home, but getting lost on that last block was an experience that I have never figured out.
