Oh about our walk though -
Instead of walking our neighborhood which is what we usually do, we decided to go over and walk the plush track at our local high school so as not to deal with inclines and be able to walk on a softer surface. Well, we get over there and as we're about to walk onto the track my husband stops in his tracks and is intently looking at something. In my impatience, mainly because I'm worried about making it to my next bathroom break - it's great being a woman this age - I'm wondering what the heck is he doing and why aren't we moving?!? He turns to me and says "we're not going to walk here" and grabs my arm to lead me away.
Well, first let me tell you that my husband is far from an alarmist. In fact, I was pretty proud of him that he was even that observant. But what he saw was no one on the track except what appeared to be a somewhat tall slender male walking around with at least one or two black coats on, one being a hoodie which he had pulled up over his head. That raised his first suspicion being that it was such a beautiful day here. But more importantly, he was holding his right arm very straight and was carrying something in his hand that my husband was concerned could be a weapon. So we walked away and headed in the opposite direction where we came upon a church with, lo and behold, a police officer sitting there in his vehicle. My husband told him what he saw and said it could be NOTHING but felt he should at least report it. The police officer was very appreciative because apparently they had had an incident at that church just a few weeks back with a disruptive young man that they had to calm down and escort away from the church. I don't know what happened from there, as we left and went somewhere else, but it sure was NOTHING but strange.......
