Weekend hiking with the canine companion(s) and socializing with other hikers in the community.

So I'm sitting in this three-day, 13-hour-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the (hermetically sealed) windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our three days of c …

The vision for this group is to walk 3-4 times a week between 7:00-8:00 a.m. in the South Palo A …
