After I finished up answering the un-ringing phone and entering the several packages into the log, I decided to walk home from work. Now, home is in Petworth and work is in Dupont. The walk is about 4 miles and for most people would be pretty easy even though much of it is uphill.
I did fine for the first 2 miles taking pictures and listening to Comfort Eagle until I got to Howard University on Georgia Avenue. And, well, the hills started and my choice of shoes became the apparent fail that it was. So, I stopped by the Banneker Rec Center and learned that DC Public Pools are free to DC residents. And me without my bathing suit.
Partially because my feet hurt and partially because I wanted to get home and get my swimming stuff before the pools closed for the day, I decided to hop on the 70 bus for the rest of the way. A few minutes later, I was walking into my house and tearing apart my closet looking for swimsuit so that I could run out the door down to the Upshur Park pool and get a bit of swimming in.
