One of the reasons why I am looking forward to the warm weather is that I do miss going for long walks through the city on hot days (in the winter, the wind is often too unpleasant, and all the clothing leads to overheating). It is getting warm enough to take short walks but I am looking forward to the 2+ hour walks (out to the beach or High Park, and back, for example).

One of the nice things about being out for a long time is that I don't get stuck in that pattern of dispassion: Have trouble finding motivation, watch awful nonsense to procrastinate, fall asleep due to lack of stimulation, wake up and repeat. Walking is not the most exciting thing to do (that would either be working on something interesting or talking to an interesting person), but keeps me conscious and present in the real world.
