Stroll

Monday - 3km - partway to work, then to C'est What with Puga after.
Tuesday - 14.12km - went to a book launch at the Lula Lounge.

Got an email on Monday from Elias with the subject, "A FLANEUR IS YOU." In it was a link to an Eye article about a book that one of it's regular columnists, Shawn Micallef, had written: STROLL - Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto.

Apparently a flaneur is simply someone who "wanders their city with the sole purpose of paying attention to it"; and this idea of psychogeography, borne from groups of folks in Europe with more serious goals in mind, is the examination of the effect that geography has on human emotion and behavior.

I do like to wander and explore... but I'm not sure I explore things THAT deeply.

Gonna read the book and see. So far it seems more like a history lesson than a emotional journey.

ugh...

Rain, work, and discourteous frisbee opponents have left me far behind schedule.

Squeezed in ~18k last night, and a very rough map just now:

EDIT: added a reasonable lunchtime walk: total for the day is ~20.45km!

Walked to work. Was reminded in the afternoon that I wanted to check out the beds at West Elm. Walked out that way after work, stopping by a few stores on Queen. Then took the long way back.

A few extra km tonight--tomorrow is 'bee night, so there'll be no energy to spare for walking!
