Buena is home most of the day and I, as an academic, have a certain amount of flexibility during the day. I get the impression that Buena uses most of her flexibility to chat over the fence with my husband when he is around or with me when I am. I don’t know what they talk about (hopefully not about me!), but Buena and I usually talk about food or sports. A good deal of the time we end up running out for ice cream.

We are very fortunate to have an ice cream parlor within walking distance of the house…but not too close, if you get my drift. If I know my human nature, then I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that the calories we expend getting to and from the ice cream store are precisely equal to those we consume in the form of ice cream. Perhaps we need to begin walking further, maybe all the way to the gourmet ghetto, and consuming a proportionately larger number of calories!
