Start at Gas Works Park. Look at decrepit machinery. Look at attractive people lounging on the grass. Repeat. Catch the Burke-Gilman. Flip off an aggressive biker. Go up the stairs at the Fremont Bridge. Wait for the Fremont Bridge to come down. Cross the Fremont Bridge. Catch the Lake Union Trail. Consider whether that huge Chinese joint looks cheesy or awesome. Admit you’re out of shape. Stop and stretch at MOHAI. Look at attractive people lounging on the grass. Continue. Wave “Hi” to the S.L.U.T. Admit you’re really out of shape. Contemplate whether you belong in a houseboat. Contemplate whether you should learn to fly a seaplane. Holy shit, is Gas Works all the way over there? Cross the University Bridge. Fear for the future of this country, for it lies in the hands of its youth. Flip off another biker. Aaaaaaand rest.
