Walking in a new venue

Ordinarily, the Fitness Center at TCC West would be open today, but since today is one of those days between semesters, it was closed. As an alternative, there is the Case Community Center out by Rivers Park. The CCC is a new facility located about a mile west of WalMart. The walking/running track is elevated and goes around the basketball court. Whereas at TCC lane markings are used, there are no lanes marked at Case. There were plenty of people using the facility when we arrived. The track had so many people on it, that you had to weave you way around some of the walkers. Some people were actually sitting on the track.

Down below on the court, elementary aged children were engaged in a supervised game of basketball. Adult referees in uniform were controlling the game. This meant there was also plenty of noise. I had my MP3 player with me, but at times the noise of the crowd overrode the music (Ian Hobson playing Rachmaninoff) I was listening to. The Spring semester at CC begins next Monday.

This afternoon I went to Gail’s house for Secular Singers. As I was parking, Bob H. drove up behind me. We went inside and soon Bea arrived. We were wondering about Randy who usually attends. I called Randy and he was involved in another activity. I think he had forgotten about Secular Singers. This was Bob’s first time at Secular Singers. We began with “Wildwood Flower” written by Mabel Carter and continued on for two hours. As they say, time flies when you are having fun.

Bob reserved a meeting room for us at the Muskogee Library. We will be having a meetup there at the request of a lady from Muskogee who was a plaintiff in a Ten Commandments marker case. The lady lives in Stigler, which is about 40 miles south of Muskogee.
