I feel good after my 4+ mile walk this morning.  I met up with a couple friends and their kids, and we had a good combination - good pace, good kids, good conversation and good weather!

One of the topics that came up in our conversation was how Scummy wants to get a little poodle pretty soon.  Too bad that Jenny and I were there to tell her without sugarcoating it–that she is ridiculous!  Funny thing is…about ten minutes into our walk Scummy started seeing signs that prove that she needs her dog!  First, she looked over the edge of the sidewalk and saw a lump of tar that looked exactly like a black poodle!  It really did, and we were all cracking up.  Then a bit later, we hear ferocious barking from the house up the hill from us.  I report that there were 3 poodles freaking out at us — and one happened to be a little apricot toy poodle - exactly what Scummy wants!

Then in classic Scummy fashion, she started pointing out things that were “signs”, but to me they were more like “stretches”.  We had a great time, and I will admit that the signs were a little freaky!  Scummy, I think you should go and get your poodle today, so we don’t have a poodle fall out of the sky in front of us on our next walk!  After our walk, we all treated ourselves to a Jamba Juice (which probably defeats the purpose), and headed our seperate ways.  That is definitely my idea of excercising…having fun while you do it!
