Walk to School

I was held up in traffic, this morning.  Not vehicle traffic, but pedestrians.  Not just any ole pedestrians, but kids, children.  It was a parade of school kids.  A hundred kids walking to school.  No, I wasn't dreaming.  Today was International Walk to School Day.

Back in the day, I walked to school twice a day, and walked back home, twice a day.  No wonder I was a skinny kid.  I remember that it took me 20 minutes, if I stopped at the bakery and bought a donut for $.05, then ten minutes if I ran to school.
