The Dickens is content to go wherever her feet may take her, but unfortunately Lexy doesn't share this philosophy. I took both of them along when I took Nate to gym class, and since we had an hour to fill while waiting for the class to end, we walked around. We found a footbridge over the freeway with children's art on it, a closed museum, and a segment of a local creek trail that The Dickens wanted to explore. Lexy wasn't having any of it. He seems to be afraid to wander. We had to abort our meandering and head back to wait for Nate. This meant restraining The Dickens from joining the class, much to her annoyment. She's quite loud when she's annoyed.

Oh yeah, and I almost ran over some ducks tonight. It's that time of year again when ducks let their feet take them onto the asphalt.

cds I listened to while swerving around ducks: Mark Growden "Live at the Odeon", Jaguar "Run Ragged", Tyr "Eric the Red", John Arch "A Twist of Fate", and Sixteen Horsepower "Sackcloth 'n' Ashes"
