'Spend an entire afternoon laughing,' Part III
I can't recall a trend that was so hyped before it became a trend. ... Armchair Gen. Savin Hill, I assume, is still eagerly looking forward to his first encounter with a Nordic Skipper. Here's my own offer: $25 to the first person who videotapes a local Nordic Skipper, puts it on YouTube and alerts the rest of us. ... I wonder if the future Nordic Walking crowd -- bored uppermiddle-class white-collar workers trying to prove they're really earthy country farmers at heart -- have a clue that the 'trend' and its 'studies' are being backed by the outdoor-gear industry. ... "Millions of folks here will be walking with poles soon"!!!
