beware of mush

mark asked what i wanted to do today. i wanted to walk downtown and get some ice cream.
"really, that is what you want to do?" he said.
"most positive," my response.
i love our walks. we don't do it on a regular basis (which we should) but it does make it all the more special when we do spend that outside time together (especially when we have slightly different interests: he being a gardener and me a runner).
it reminded me of our first times together in the summer of 2007. one particular time i took the bus downtown from my parent's place. met him up with him then walked to MEC and bought him some hiking boots. then off for some ice cream. next back tracked to a lot of mark's favourite trees in the downtown area. during our trek we watched people running the obstacle marathon, the live bands in churchill, just downtown people and finally soak our feet in the city hall pool.
today it was just as sunny, with some fantastic wind. the ice cream was coconut and raspberries for me, for him birthday cake and gummi bears. we walked downtown to the legislature, down to the river valley, back home.
both are nothing special but to me, something i love and feel the need to appreciate. like in i said in the title: pure mush!
love
