Walking my dogs is not exercise. I wish it were, but it’s not, and that’s because there are no less than 43 other dogs in our neighborhood — all of whom we know— so when we walk, my two insist on stopping at precise six-foot intervals to sniff every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every leaf or stick, and every drop of rain or fl ake of snow within reach for whatever pee-mail might have been left by the last of their friends to pass by. Once satisfi ed that they know which of those 43 other dogs they will be addressing and how they want to reply, they piddle their answer and on we go — for another six feet. Sometimes, I wonder just what these messages say. “Warm welcome?” “Urine my thoughts?” “Yellow there!” Who knows. But I do know that at the end of each walk, my little ones are completely exhausted and ready for a nap,while I have gained another pound.

Stop. And Go.Thinking Out LOUD

Weekly Overview (Week starting on January 31)Get a little help with managing your time and setting your priorities from a mentor or friend as the week begins. Otherwise, the fi rst couple of days this week will be a time-suck. Around Wednesday, though, you’re on top of the world, if the Universe has its way. Then it’s time to get more practical on Friday and Saturday. What will you do to stay motivated? When do you take the next steps? Then, on Sunday, a possible breakthrough.

I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him $50 that he couldn’t reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, ‘no, the steaks are too high.’

ARTWORK: Home portraits, done in pen & ink or watercolor. Visit www.woodlandspiritart.com for details or call for information. Portfolio available. Sally, 860-977-9340.A friend of mine found a cell phone. She called the owner of

the phone’s parents to see if they could get the phone back to their daughter. Five minutes after she got off the phone, a text message came through from the girl’s dad saying “Lizzy, some girl found your phone...call her at ***-***-**** to get your phone back”— KYLE

My Dad asked me what an apple pie phone was. — STEVE

Sometimes when im texting back and forth with my mom she forgets to check the message to see if her iPhone auto-corrected her spelling. Its really weird when it switches her words, for example, “lock” and “lick”— JENN

CalendarFebruary 5 - 6, The Silver Whistle —West Hartford, CT – The Silver Whistle is a brand new, full-length musical by local playwright Richard Chiarappa. The action takes place in an old-age home full of fl owers, crotchety seniors, and an uptight minister. Things begin to change, however, when the mysterious Oliver Erwenter comes to town. With upbeat songs and witty dialogue, Chiarappa’s musical presents a comedic, yet sentimental piece about growing old, fi nding love, and seizing the day.
