Quality time with iPod
I live in Devonshire, which is a 15 minute speed walk from my office in Pembroke. Not exactly a stone throw away, but worth it. And I’ll tell you why. I don’t walk the distance very often. Maybe 3 - 4 times a month. But when I do take the challenge my iPod is a common choice of company. No matter which of my favorite artists I listen to, the one I choose always is a perfect match for my walk.

I’m a fast walker. Even with a laptop messenger bag around one shoulder and a bag of oatmeal and raisin cookies in my hand. But the energy in the music really pumps me on and for those 15 minutes the power-walk feels like a stroll in the park. I look forward to the nights I do walk home from the office. WIthout them, I wouldn’t spend as much time with my iPod.
