My wife and I try to walk everyday. It’s an hour and a half without screens, just us walking and talking. We call it “counting cats”. That’s what we do. We count the cats we see along the way. They are mostly strays. New Orleans is a city of strays, both feline and human. Walking is not writing. Only writing is writing. But sometimes a walk can help you think something through or find an idea while looking at ships on the river. In 2022 we walked more than 500 miles and more than 600 in both 2023 and 2024. One foot in front of the other is a good way to live.
