Last Saturday I had an urge to climb a mountain, mentioning to SML several times on our morning walk that I wanted to go on a hike. SML generally doesn’t exercise unless he can take a shower immediately afterwards, something in the time frame of ten minutes after he’s begun to sweat, to prevent what he calls “acne” or “breaking out.” I have yet to see these life-controlling pimples. SML avoided my suggestion that we hike Timpanogos, luring my attention away by discussing the possibility of purchasing a Wii Fit. A Wii Fit would actually satisfy my urge to climb a mountain because I’d be worn out from stepping on and off of the balance board. Walking a block and a half to the train station is enough to put me off going to work at all some mornings, so I imagine repetitive stepping could possibly decrease my desire to get off the couch and or my life expectancy. When we were unable to find a Wii Fit anywhere in the Salt Lake valley I returned to my notion of hiking Timpoangos. I actually said to SML, “I’m going WITH OR WITHOUT YOU!” I can’t remember if I said that sentence loudly, but I totally meant it in a loud way. And it worked, because SML finally agreed to come along. One of the very few things that I will miss about Utah, besides my liberal bakery, is the view:

... I was just looking through your posts and noticed your site quite similar to mine, from pride to Mount Timp. I just wanted to say hi and I like what I read. :) |
