Today's 10-minute walk is helping both of us remain fitness consistent. Hi, I'm Dave. Let's go for a walk

0:09.1

and I will let you know in advance today's walk might be a little noisier. I'm walking alongside

0:17.5

a pretty busy road near where we live and it is a bit later in the

0:22.5

morning so traffic is a little bit more than usual and at the moment actually

0:32.0

okay there's one car coming but right before I pressed record there were about a half a dozen cars that drove by probably 10 feet from where I am.

2:04.4

And I remember hearing the news on the radio and listening to the coverage, the shock in the announcer's voices as they were talking about the death of Elvis Presley.

2:16.8

One of the reactions that I had was,

2:20.3

why are you shocked? He was 42. We die when we get old. Years ago, I asked my daughter who was, I don't know, maybe eight or nine years old at the time.
