TAKE A HIKE!

   FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17TH., 2017
                 TAKE A HIKE!

    Please, don't be insulted! November
17th is "Take A Hike Day."
    It is, of course, a day designed to
encourage better health through
exercise, specifically walking or
hiking.
     My wife and I had been doing a
lot of walking up until about two
months ago. A case of Gout took
me out of the picture and she preferred
not to walk alone.
      The biggest problem to resuming
our daily constitutional is habit. We
got out of it! And once out it
seems doubly hard to get back in!
        Now to be totally honest there
are some who say this day was actually
first called "Tell your boss to take a
hike day." I suspect anyone who
actually did that may have gotten
out of the habit of going to work!
         But whatever the official
designation walking or hiking is
certainly a good exercise so you
might want to celebrate today by...well...
taking a hike! I wouldn't say anything
to your boss about the other title for
the day.
          Hope you enjoy your stroll and
that all your NEWS is good.
