Try a super walk today.

Bill and his brother Mike have been going on these "Superwalks." This , mind you, is not a fast paced walk
for exercising....it is an urban adventure stroll. A modern day walk a-la the boys from
Stand By Me. A superwalk is usually 4-5 hours long and has no specific route.
Weekend, after weekend, these guys head out for another super walk. Last week I went on what Mike and Bill kindly called a "Super-Mini." Knowing I wasn't up for a 15 mile sprawl, they agreeded to do a shorter version so I could have a small taste of the fabulouslessness they have been sharing every weekend. I did enoy my mini super....I think the best part was simply seeing the world of central and urban austin go by step by step rather than theusual 15-37 mph.

I give the mini supers a thumbs up. just a mini though.

Today, the kids went on a mini PLUS with Bill and "uncle michell." Longer than a mini, and they have been talking about the fun all day long. Samantha says, "Everyone should try one, the're fun....but only if uncle mitchell goes. so there you have it.....try a super walk today.

Fw: brothers flan pre mini super walk.

the story behind squirrel bites

Looking over my Google Analytics report, I have found that a number of visitors to this blog have come from searches on Google for " squirrel bites."

Of course it is beacuse of this old post: http://allisoncrow.blogspot.com/2006/03/squirrel-bites.html

At my Austin house, I often had intermittent TV and Internet service. After a few visits from time warner cable the cause of my problem was communicated by a service technician wearing double denim, a hard hat and a tool belt -- mouth full of CHAW:

Tech: "Ma'am. I thank I know yer problem. I been all up and down that there pole and the problem is. . . .you got squirrel bites."

Me: "I'm sorry, did you say squirrel bites?"

Tech: "Yep. Ya got squirrel bites." Long pause.

End of story. Enough said. Have you ever been diagnosed with squirrel bites? I still think that is hilarious.

Note: I have not actually been bitten by a squirrel. They are like rats in my book. My cable wires were apparently gnawed on by the little varmints and that can lead to intermittent Internet connection. Beware: Squirrel bites can be a detriment to technology.

my list for the day

1. Blythe. Laughter and a smile can often communicate more than words. Funny, my business coach often points out that most of the messages we send to others in communicating is actually given in emotion and body language. Ok back to list.
2. The re-enchantment of every day life (thomas moore)
3. New car smell in an Suv body
4. my sisters
5. ABC's the bachelorette season finale and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
