But I was quite content to stay home, and spend my day strolling around the Phillip en Kill Preserve and the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center, reading, studying, and observing nature. The thing is I really don’t enjoy driving that much or even bicycling — it comes somewhat of a chore when you bike commute every day. It’d rather just walk somewhere on my feet, not in a hurry on a Saturday.

While I know time is not unlimited, I also don’t get the appeal of hurrying and seeing how much one can jam into a weekend. There will certainly be a chance to do more weekend adventures when the weather is nicer, and if there isn’t ultimately it doesn’t matter. Driving or even riding the bike costs money, and while it means you are sped away to a distant location, it means you end of seeing a lot less then on foot.
