Double Step Temp

I've noticed that people walk with an increased sense of urgency these days. I'm not talking about folks hurrying back from lunch or racing to appointments, but the dedicated walkers who get their exercise with daily laps around the block.

The change occurs this every year at this time. The casual stroll encouraged by warm summer temperatures is replaced by a hurried double step brought on by the November chill.

While the need for daily exercise still calls out, the call of indoor warmth is louder still. There's nothing like the lure of logs crackling in a fireplace or a teapot whistling on the stove to make us hurry back to our comforting homes.
