Okay, new fascination.
My brother introduced me to Free Running, also known as parkour. This is the since-time-immemorial practice of running through an urban environment, tacking every obstacle you feel like attacking in some moderately gymnastic manner. For reference, please see wikipedia, Parkour and so on.
This evening, Dustin and I went down to providence to run around and be bad. It was pretty sweet, though we learned that we both pretty much are out of shape and suck. We ran around for an hour or so, exploring a couple of rooftops, fire escapes, stairways, and other totally accessible, legal locations. Basically “I want to get up there, but I don’t want to take the stairs.”
Good times.
