Why Every Writer Needs A Dog
A recent scientific study suggests that walking has therapeutic benefits that may even exceed those of running. Apparently the action of walking raises endorphin levels and this has a positive effect on the way we feel and our thought processes. For a long time I was a long distance runner over both marathon and ultra marathon distances. I was a lot younger then and eventually my knees sat me down and had a long chat. Basically, they explained, I could continue running if I insisted, but that they were simply not going to participate. To soften the blow, they suggested that they would be prepared to participate in as much walking as I wanted to do.

Forget the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. You shouldn’t go to Paris without visiting Pere Lachaise cemetery. Not only is it a tree lined island of tranquility from which to escape the throngs of tourists, it is inhabited, if one can use that word, by some fascinating characters from history. Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde and Frederic Chopin are all buried there and the list of famous characters goes on and on.
