This Is Why I Walk to Work


And for your Dessert.....

On one level I am completely insane for walking to work every morning. It's dark, usually chilly and it takes me a good half hour to get from one end of town to the other.

On the other hand, it works the kinks out of my back and takes the sting out of my herniated disc. Sometimes I can even run errands along the way.

This morning on the corner of Sixth Avenue and 23rd Street I heard a guy yelling, "Free Krispy Kremes!" I was kind of hungry so I stopped. He said I could have a box of one dozen Krispy Kremes if I let him take my photo with the box. He was also standing by a Z100 truck, so I figuerd it would be fine. But what do I know? With my luck it'll probably end up on some dirty, doughnut fetish site.

Nevertheless, the early birds at The Job seem to be enjoying them as well. So, yay for early morning exercise and getting free doughnuts out of it.

In other news, last night's Brandi Carlile show was AWESOME. One of the electric guitars broke early in the set, and so it turned out to be an all-acoustic show. In addition to the regular four-piece band, she added a cello, which really gave all the songs a wonderful richness. I am such a fan.

Oh, and I heard that "Gold Digger" song again this morning while trying to find something to wear. I really need to get that album..
