slipjig3Dear Adam,
I need to have a word about your little plan to get more exercise by always taking the stairs rather than the escalator when exiting the T station. I'm not saying it's a bad plan—on the contrary, it seems to be quite effective. I'm just saying that maybe your plan ought to include a Porter Square exemption. Just a thought.
Yours in pain from the knee down,
Adam

Date: 2010-09-25 12:28 pm (UTC)Some background. I'm almost 48 and carrying some-but-not-excessive-extra-poundage. My semi-daughter is 28, average height, average weight, has a job where she's on her feet all day. You'd think that she'd be in better shape than me.
Wrong. I broke my leg seven years ago and have been terrified of ending up in a wheelchair ever since, so I walk everywhere and I climb stairs. I don't take the Porter Square stairs ***EVERY*** time I come into Boston, but some impish part of me needed to show off to Crystal that day about her complaints that she was "getting old".
