Brian Lair on WNYC and now for our final conversation today we want to know what walking

means to you, walking alone or walking with other people.

Do you prefer the solitary amble to clear your head, maybe explore a new place, or would

you rather take a stroll with a good friend for a spirited catching up session?

Well don't ask New York Times opinion columnist Lydia Polgreens to go on a walk with you.

In a recent columnist, a column she celebrates what she calls the solitary amble and laments

the walking date or meeting.

Ameless walking Polgreens rights is a law start in our ever optimizing society.

Lydia Polgreens joins us now to make her case and take your calls.

Hi Lydia, thanks for coming on, welcome back to WNYC.

Hi Brian, it's great to be here with you.

And listeners, we really do want to hear from you.

Are you also turning down invitations to go for walks?

Do you value the time to think to or do you prefer social walk?

What do your daily walks if you take daily walks mean to you?

recent New York Times column celebrating the solitary walk and lamenting the social walk

called no, I don't want to go for a walk with you.
