A few weeks ago, when setting goals and identifying our relationship’s core values, we decided that starting in August, we would take hour-long walks together at least twice a week.  Tonight, after veggie burgers and World Cafe, C. and I went for our first walk.  We walked to Central Park.  I love this park, and yet this is only my first visit to the park since I moved back to Louisville two years ago.  (When I lived in Louisville the first time, I lived around the block from the park and took walks there all the time.)  We walked a winding path around the park, declaimed half-remembered bits of Shakespeare on the amphitheater stage and fake-jousted, ran through the sprayground holding hands (twice!), walked the colonnade, and generally enjoyed ourselves immensely.  We will definitely return to the park, and soon, and possibly with a picnic.  We took a meandering route back home, stopping at the drug store for allergy medicine and two ginger ales.  We were gone almost two hours, and it was one of the best nights in recent memory.
