Things I Saw On My Run Today

• baby Canada geese
• many, many dogs that were very happy to be spending the afternoon at the beach or the park
• many, many joggers – many of whom were running faster than I was
• many, many bikers – some of whom were biking slower than I was running 1
• an older gentleman holding a single red rose, sitting on a bench, and looking expectantly up the path
• two guys dressed in 1980s YMCA gear – I’m talking bright red short shorts, tall socks, headbands and wristbands – playing ping pong on the beach
• many people who were oblivious to the fact that they were walking right in my way2
• this:

• this monument:

• and these 10 stop signs a top a hill, which I’ve seen several times before and which always make me wonder – why the hell are they there?3
