Monday, July 6, 2009 - Day one: Jogging in the rain.
It’s Monday and the first day of my plan to embrace my new life in The ATL–so far so good. I took a jog in Piedmont Park which is just across the street and enjoyed the light rain as I plodded along. Next I picked up the local weekly (Creative Loafing), sat down for some lunch and read a story about a 34-year old man who is dying from lung cancer. He’s getting used to new things, too, like planning his funeral (he’s developed a phobia for cremation and has opted for a “green” funeral instead). Message: If someone five years younger than me is adjusting to the idea that he only has a few weeks to live, I can explore my new neighborhood.
Next up? Tomorrow I think I’ll take our public transit to a part of the city I’ve never been in and see what happens.
