Nothing felt better today than just through my new guy in the Snugli and walking a few blocks. I still went by a beautiful park. And if I were more ambitious, I could go to the bakery, a restaurant, a coffee shop, a hardware store, two bars, a barber and any number of convenience stores. I had to drive from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday in crash-snarled traffic. Usually I just zoom up on Hiawatha (the avenue, not the light rail) If I had to drive I-94 every day, just shoot me. Amen!

My daugher's school is 10 minutes walk away, the park is 3 doors down, and we have a strip of shops near her school too. I always feel guilty when we drive to school; the kids miss out on their fresh air and exercise and are a lot more difficult to handle. Oh, and we are the only ones, in a class of 20 kids, who walk. How sad is that? I don’t like being a taxi either. My daugher’s school is 10 minutes walk away, the park is 3 doors down, and we have a strip of shops near her school too.
