Almost every day I climb from where I am now at the top left corner point of
Central Park - Frederick Douglass Circle which is known as MANHATTAN VALLEY
up Cathedral Parkway which is 110th 1500 ft to Broadway which is known as
MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS. Or "THE HEIGHTS" if you are a Beat Poet. I don't huff
and puff too much but its the way down that kills me. I had my knee done a
year and a half ago and I think it needed to be done more.
The Doc said I can climb hills I'm just not allowed to go down them.
This makes for some some occasional logistical problems.
