A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

COMMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED, WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED.

1124 a walk in the park

Steve K came by this morning to pick me up for my weekly walk. We anticipated heavy crowds at the mall today, so we opted for a walk at Liberty Park in Cerritos. There is an all-weather track at that park, but we just kept to the sidewalk that encircled the track. I made it about a third of the way around, before stopping for the day. We talked about our respective Thanksgiving dinners and family gatherings.

Since we ended early, we made quick stops at Sports Authority and Target, before heading off to BJ's Brewhouse for some great deep dish pizza. At Sports Authority, I picked some dumbbells to help with my right arm exercises, and looked at some treadmills. I'm thinking of getting one to help me with my walking exercises at home. The slowest speed on them is 0.5 mph, which seems to be slow enough for me. I need to do some more research on them, though.

We expected Target to be a zoo but the parking lot was only a third full and there were no lines at the checkouts. I just needed some frames, so we were in and out in about five minutes.

BJ's wasn't busy either; the wait for a table was just a few minutes. I ordered a large BJ's Special (the Works) deep dish pizza because it's great as leftovers and I'll be having the rest for dinner at home tonight, since I'll be going to church tomorrow.
