Corroboration from the Sage of St. Paul

Garrison Keillor, of A Prairie Home Companion fame, has a sweet essay on Salon.com on the joys of walking. Your Boulevardier heartily recommends it. Here is a snippet:

When you walk in the open, exposed to beauty and grandeur and our common mortality, no words can quite suffice, but one must keep trying. It's a good life in a paradise of a world. Inscribe this in your heart, reader: Whenever you feel sad or bored, get out and take a hike.

See you on the Boulevard. Ideally, on foot.
