This is hard to admit and my youngest has given me ample grief. I have, on many occasions, been a mall walker. Why would anyone who writes like he's Daniel Boone and lives in near seclusion walk inside a shopping mall? That's simple, for love.
Checking Kim has convinced me to walk around the pond at the mall and walk inside the mall. It really isn't that bad. I play a head game. I pretend that I am a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers and everyone else in the mall are tacklers. I dodge them all as we make our way around the large oval. My walking partner is very patient with my childish fantasies.
It has been a while but bad weather is on the way. If you see us in the mall you won't recognize us. Don't expect to see Davey Crockett and Calamity Jane scooting around the mall. We will look like any other boring couple. There is a way to pick us out. If you see a blonde girl frequently walking in and out of stores and an old man walking in circles while he waits, that will be us.
I don't really have many mall walking tips but I do know something that makes sense. "Walk where they ain't." Go up and down stairs, crisscross the mall, do whatever it takes to hide from as much of the crowd as possible. Some of the walkers zip around that place so aggressively you might think they are playing roller derby.
"Walk where they ain't."
