Lately at noon I’ve been able to slip away and head out to the walking trail in the town where I work for a little fresh air and some exercise.
They have a trail in town that is just fantastic and as you weave your way through trees and bridges, you definitely get the feeling that it’s truly a small midwestern town. 
Now granted this walk can come with challenges though. What happened to me was that I could hear the town’s school marching band off somewhere in the area and I thought that it was pretty cool to hear a band playing while I was walking. Well then I could hear it what seemed much louder and then all of a sudden I could literally see them marching directly towards me on the trail! I stopped, like I was a deer in the rood or something and thought that maybe they didn’t see me. (pretty sure that they did – I was right in front of them) So I turned around and tried to act cool and just retrace my path the opposite way back to the plant. I don’t think I pulled off the ‘act cool’ thing either. Just saying.
So now when I’m out for my noon time walk and I can hear the band playing, I definitely keep my eyes and ears open to make sure that I don’t run into them. Literally!
that is too funny about the band! i remember when my kids were in high school they were supposed to show up for band practice during the summer, and both of them conveniently “forgot”, so the band director marched the band over to our house to pick them up!
