Now We’re Looking Up

Walking through Central Park, following lunch.. it’s a beautiful day.
He [singing goofily]:
All the leaves are brown,
and the sky is grey,
I went for a walk,
on a winter’s day..
She: It’s I’ve been for a walk.
He: What?
She: It’s BEEN… I’ve been for a walk.
He: Are you sure?
She: [Long sideways glance]
He [singing thoughtfully]:
I went for a walk… I went for a walk... That sounds right.
She: Nope. Been.
He: ??
She [rolling eyes, reaching for iPhone and addressing Siri]: What are the lyrics to California Dreaming?
….seconds later….
She [reading from California Dreaming lyric sheet]:
I’ve been for a walk,
on a winter’s day…
He: Let me see that…
She [thrusting iPhone in his face]: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I did not take a picture while strolling through our beautiful downtown park (too busy sussing out song lyrics), so went a bit backwards in the recent archive to see if I had one handy. I did not. But I found a couple I’ve taken near the park in the past couple of weeks, which speak to 1) the beauty of a Davis spring (wowsers!) and 2) the fact things are, as my friend Elliot said they would when I got over the flu: looking up!
Very nice to be over the flu. Yes.

Yeah! You are up and about! Maybe having a torturer cut off your index finger is worse than flu, but it would be close. I always thought it was “I went for a walk.” Oh well.
