Meandering

I’ve been taking periodic late-night walks through campus lately, and I’m starting to like them. They provide me with time to catch up on my thoughts, or escape them. I never choose a route ahead of time, nor do I have a target time to return. Tonight was a good walk, but I went too early for a weekend night, so there were a fair amount of people out. They were all dressed in generally uninspired costumes, trying to figure out where the next party was. My favorite line of the night:

Some Guy: Hey, can you take a picture of us?
Me: Do you have a camera?
Some Guy: No.

I often used running for this purpose in the past, but the nice thing about walking is that it can be done without worrying what or how recently I ate, and I don’t need to shower.
