everyone is getting in on the health bandwagon.

This morning my nearly 80-year-old sister and I went to the HMT, but we only walked a small portion. It was hot, humid, and the cane was not the appropriate support device for her on that terrain. It wasn't a good combo. Next year when she comes up, I'm going to borrow a wheel chair. Then we'll zoom thru the whole thing and she can get up and walk around as needed. At least she got to see the furnaces up-close. But she fell getting into my car, so now I'm worried. I am my mother's daughter.

I'm going to wait till tonight to take a walk around the hood. It's too hot now. I need to go to Staples later, maybe I'll walk up and down all the aisles and get some air conditioned time in. Maybe go up to Giant and do the same thing!

I was procrastinating going to work on Facebook — an evil invention for procrastinators — and I saw this:

Yeah, something else to sign up for. And find. So I did. How many programs am I doing now? I think I am screwing up everyone's numbers.

And really, how can I not sign up for a program that uses the dreaded Papyrus font! And it's condensed. Even better.

Million Hearts is a national initiative created by the Department of Health & Human Services, and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. It's goal is to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes by the year 2017. Apparently there will be something to click — with a special key — and you can win prizes. Now if I was a bored teenager, and lived near a park, I'd just click that thing all day.

These magic clickers are at:

• LifeTrail in Cedar Creek Parkway: Entrance on Honochick Drive
• Trexler Park: Entrance on Springhouse Road, between Tilghman Street and Broadway
• Andre Reed Park: Entrance off Irving Street, between Union Blvd and Hanover Avenue
• Lehigh Parkway: Robin Hood Bridge parking lot
• Hamilton Mile: "Click-in" station at Hamilton & 9th Streets

I'll take a pix when I actually see one. I guess they'll mail me the key?

I was actually planning on walking next week at the Irving Street Park (now Andre Reed) when I go to the garage, so I'll start off with a bang! And I love that Hamilton Street is included.

Diversion over. Back to melting over my keyboard. There's work to do. And Wordpress to learn.
