This afternoon I finally road-tested my new walking shoes down at Lakebottom Park's* track in Columbus' historic Weracoba-St. Elmo area. Being outside was a nice change from walking with the good, but monotonous, DVD that I've been using inside. Lots of people found the weather perfect for jogging, biking, scooting, strolling, playing football, tennis, or basketball. While Will and I chatted our way around the track, we watched different groups of people enjoying the day. Anna jogged the path surrounding the park.
We lived in a tiny craftsman bungalow on Cherokee Avenue, just across from Lakebottom, until Anna was 3 years old. She has made many-a-lap around that park, but mostly in a stroller. While a student at Columbus High (below), Will walked/ran the park perimeter daily during a health class. My father also exercised there during his time at CHS back in the '40's: ROTC drill practice. It's a great, old park and epitomizes "old Columbus" to me.
Being outside also gave me the opportunity to try out my new camera. I played with the settings, but really need to just sit down and look at the manual, I think. Don't like to do that! The Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital Elph is just about perfect for me: compact, 10 megapixels, intuitive (yeah, mostly). One complaint: SLOW. I'm sure that there's a way to improve upon this. The review that I read indicated a better than average shutter lag.
I know, I know: reading the manual may help.
