‘Walk About’

We are leaving for some serious time away. Who knows where (Gulf Coast), who knows for how long (winter).

Leaving is always interesting: leaving a social setting, leaving town, leaving home, leaving a job, leaving friends, leaving loved ones, leaving your family, leaving a spouse – leaving.  Synonymous with leaving: going away, passing, exiting, releasing, departing, going, expiring, losing, deviating, diverging. Song writers write songs about leaving: John Denver: ‘leaving on a jet plane’, Beatles : ‘she’s leaving home’, Mary Chapin Carpenter: ‘And you see that you’re leaving… And you see that you’re gone…’, Bob Dylan: ‘Done laid around, done stayed around
This old town too long, And it seems like I’ve got to travel on’.

Leaving: Not always easy if done well. I have/had (years removed, not sure) a friend who was also my boss who in the end said that “the mark of a man was in how he leaves.”

While tying up loose ends with the local ice hockey arena and the youth teams, one of my good friends from that realm was questioned about my ‘leaving’.  He responded to the query about my departure with a smile and a  hearty proclamation,  “Steve McKinney is going on a walk about.”

Maybe so. That works for me, so be it:  a ‘walk about’.

    The great thing about these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that permits builders to implement rich content material and ‘skin’ the location in such a way that with very little effort one would by no means notice what it is making the site tick all with out limiting content and effectiveness.
