WALKING AND TALKING: Yesterday, in just seven hours, I completed the second annual Length of Manhattan Walk, walking almost nonstop from the Broadway Bridge (at 225th St.) to Battery Park, for a total of about 13 miles.
No huge surprises this year; unlike the first walk, when I ran into Alan Colmes in a deli. Of the four of us who started I was the only one who finished all 265 blocks; my co-walkers, to their credit, managed to reach 72nd Street- which is mistakenly referred to as "uptown" by most narrow-minded Upper West Siders.
For next year's third annual LOM Walk, tentatively scheduled for next June, I'm hoping for a bigger crowd, and hopefully we can also do it for some charitable cause. Let me know if anyone has any ideas for a worthy one.
