Dad, What Does 'Trespassing' Mean?

Welcome to the first episode of this special pandemic mini-season
of The WALKING Podcast. And this time, it’s a family affair!


I’ve hired my two daughters as co-hosts because I can’t figure
out what else to do with them. That’s right! It’s a whole new
kind of walk, with the wordless, contemplative pitter-patter of
THREE sets of feet and—they’ve promised; really looked me in the
eye and promised—minimal complaining.


Why are these girls doing it? Is it because they love going out
on a ramble with their dear old dad? Nope! In fact, they hate it!
I’m always asking and they never come. It’s because they want to
get paid!


We’re selling classified ads—$1 each. Send us your well-wishes to
far away friends; your quarantine complaints, your
self-promotions; your tractor parts for sale. As always, we’ll
read them in the middle of the walk and post a picture of where
we were when we read them. Venmo a buck to Jon Mooallem LLC with
a 3-5 sentence message.


PS: The person who was crying at the end of this episode was
fine. See you next week. We'll try to keep the stage whispering
to a minimum.
