Walking in L.A.
Some of you know that I live approximately 1.5 miles from school, which leaves me little excuse to do all that driving to and from work each day. So my personal goal for the next month as school gets going is to either walk, or ride my bike to and from school as often as possible. It’s actually nice to be able to have about 30 minutes before school to mentally get ready (as opposed to being at home and then 5 minutes later being at work).
The above picture is one that I took from the West St. Bridge looking east over Venice Blvd. What’s interesting is that many of my kids will take this same route when they walk to and from school. And although I haven’t run into any of my kids so far, I have run into several of my former students who now attend Los Angeles High School (located approximately 450 feet from my house)!
Anyway, I’m hoping that once school starts, I’ll stay in the habit of walking to school although those extra 30 minutes of sleep in the morning are awfully tempting!

Kinda like a person who lives near a 100acre county park and never goes there. What’s up with that? :) (genetics)
