Four things of note came to my attention on Wednesday evening.
The first is that it crossed my mind that our group is a very good thing and is touching a lot of lives. When something can make a positive difference in lives it should be celebrated. I celebrate you all for making the commitment to yourselves and to each other.
Secondly, Bonnie informed us that Cindy's daughter Tracey gave birth to a fine baby boy. Congratulations to Tracey and her family. I'm sure we will get more details by Saturday.
I walk on the Brandon trail several times a week, yet I was pretty oblivious to the shear volume of trash, bottles, miscellaneous debris and the mess that the lawn guys are making all around the ponds. Mary brought this to my attention with the assignment that she gave us to photograph the garbage and take notes. In addition to the challenge of getting someone to address the problem, I think we should try to find a way to make everyone who enjoys the trail more aware of the damage that is caused by littering. Maybe our new shirts could address this issue with a slogan printed such as "Keep The Brandon Parkway Trail Beautiful For Everyone....Don't Litter"
The fourth thing that came to me is how much Mary and Tony bring to the Nameless Walking Group. In their absence yesterday I realized that all the basic things we do like track mileage and keep the roster of attendees along with most of the posting as of late is being done by Tony and Mary. Thank you for all you do Tony and Mary. Hope you had a great time at EPCOT yesterday.
The following information is subject to review. Please check your information closely and make sure I accounted for your evening accomplishment properly.
Attendees were: Gary, Bob, Bonnie, Dale & Joan along with Banjo, Kathy and her son Joshua, Deborah, Christine and her dog (name unknown), Marie and her mom Dot. Eleven humans and 2 dogs all together.
I believe that Dale and Bonnie walked from the start to the fountain and back. This counts for 4 miles.
Bob, Gary, Joan, Joshua, Kathy, Christine, Deborah, Marie and Dot walk from the start to 60 and back. This counts for 27.9 miles. The dogs, although they definitely put in the steps (both walked to 60 and back) don't get credit because they are.....well....dogs!
In total human miles are 31.9 which should be added to our cumulative miles which brings the total to 925.8
By the way, did I mention that Cindy's daughter had a baby boy! How wonderful is that?
Later................
