On the beaten path...

You know Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Less Traveled." Plus, all of the self-help gurus, etc. who say "dare to take the unbeaten path"?

Yesterday, I took Paco for a run and towards the end, I got him out of the stroller to let him stretch his legs.

We were in the park near our house.

The asphalt path was clean, but on either side was mud, grass, dirt, and who knows what else.

I didn't need him to get filthy or get hurt.

Sometimes, the beaten path may be the better one.

Am I getting conservative in my old age?
