Rounding the square

I’ve been walking a good bit lately. I like to walk. It’s good exercise (so they say), and, when I’m not panting and sweating, it can be relaxing. It’s cheap entertainment—although I usually jazz it up with a couple of semi-pricey high-tech devices—and it’s handy. Some days, depending on my level of laziness, I find that I can pound the streets without changing clothes or shoes. It’s a come-as-you-are activity.

Foremost, I like the pace (snail-ish in my case). I like slowing down and looking. I especially like slowing down and looking and remembering. That’s the nub of this blog: looking and remembering. And sometimes discovering.

My preferred route leads toward downtown Henderson. There are good sidewalks between my house and the middle of town. I’ve known them forever, but I’m learning that there’s always something new as I round the square.
