Brisk Walking, Exercise,Ed Budde Poster, and Cool Feed

 Secretariat sent me a Kaiser Newsletter article titled “Exercise a Prescription Pill. “The doctor called brisk walking as exercise. I don’t know exactly what he meant so I looked up brisk in the dictionary. The dictionary defined brisk as “quick, active, and lively.”  The dictionary definition did not answer my question. It seems that we all have some notion about brisk walking. My idea of brisk walking might be different than yours. Well, one way to solve the problem is to define “brisk walking” so that we all know (common understanding) what it means. Secretariat suggested that we employ an increase in pulse rate number. Another way to define it would be based on speed or miles per hour. In essence, we need an operational definition so that everyone’s brisk walking can be measured and is the same. Then perhaps, we can more intelligently discuss the relationship between brisk walking and exercise as long as we have an operational definition. Don’t forget to operationally define exercise as well.  

Secretariat created a poster for a book and autograph signing for my Kansas City trip. I have a 1957 photo taken by the Detroit Free Press of Ed and me when they selected us as linemen of the week when Denby played Eastern High School the previous Friday.  I had a good game in that I caused and recovered a fumble, blocked and recovered a punt all in the first half. Coach Rutherford  freely substituted I don’t remember what Ed did in the game however the final score was Denby 35 and Eastern zero.

So the poster reads “Join 1957 Denby High Linemen of the Week “above that 1957 photo. Below the photo reads “Ed Budde Kansas City Chiefs # 71   1963-1976” and below that “Author Dr. Frank Lieberman, autograph and book signing. “And underneath the last line is picture of the cover of my book “It Has Nothing to Do with Age.”

Ed, an All- NFL Pro, last week was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. He has won many honors and has been the president of the Kansas City Chiefs Alumni Association for over 20 years.

Early Saturday morning on the 25th, Secretariat, Randall, Diane and I are doing a trail run. After the trail run join us at Cool Feed for Customer Appreciation Day from 10 to 2 for festivities and a book signing.  As Ed would say “keep moving.”
