Walking: It’s not Overrated

Rehab has taught me that I really don't like pain! I wish I could report that I am a tough guy; that I can happily take a beating and then ask for more. Alas, that's not me. I've always considered the downside of stupid stunts and, with a few notable lapses of judgement, managed to … Continue reading Walking: It’s not Overrated →

A Walk in the Park

At noon on February 23, 2011 I decided to get out of the office and take a little walk in nearby Faust Park.  What could go wrong? Lots apparently. Faust park is in western St. Louis. It's distinguished by an absolutely charming butterfly conservatory. The conservatory is a greenhouse that's maintained at 85F year round. … Continue reading A Walk in the Park →
