The Pacific Northwest offers dampness in the longer evenings, the kind that makes bones ache a little, in the aged and the damaged. These cold night walks were my least favorite, but also became part of our routine. I found that ending each day with a stroll does let mental junk settle and unwind springs. Living near the Puget Sound often brings moist cool marine air induced fog. This heavy, thick, ‘cotton like’ mysterious air requires a little more caution when walking amongst distracted moving vehicles, due to poor visibility as it shrouds depth and changes perception. Sarrah and I typically walked three times each day; we experienced all flavors of the weather that come to the Pacific Northwest. Some varieties were appreciated more than others, but we grew to enjoy all of these experiences, together.
