Scooting to The Music
Pier Six Pavilion - Baltimore, Maryland
Boot Scootin’ Boogie
Ever have that feeling like you want to do something, but you don’t have plans, and your brain is tired from thinking of all the other chatter in your head from a long day that you just can’t think of another thing … Well, you’re not alone. This happens to us all the time. We’re human. The key here is to tune out the chatter (paralysis by analysis) and follow Newton’s first law - the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest (Inert), BUT an object in motion STAYS in motion … See below example of how we took action and avoided being inert to have a fun and memorable date.
Steps we took to make an ordinary evening extraordinary:
First step - Get a move on … Remember, an object in motion stays in motion. Get up, get out, and get movin’, anywhere!
We lived in the city and always enjoyed riding the electric scooters scattered about. We decided that’s what we were going to do, but where! This part came a bit easier since we were now in motion we were thinking more clearly and ideas seemed to come a bit easier (Newton’s first law was proving true). We discovered a band was playing on the harbor at Pier Six Pavilion. Instead of getting too much “In the weeds” and buying tickets last minute we figured we would mix up one of my signature cocktails, fill up a flask, or two, and get scootin’. (FYI, we walked home).
We scooted on up to an empty bench across from the venue (looks like we weren’t the only ones with this bright idea), and pulled out our flasks, sat back, and enjoyed the show.
On the way home we were a bit hungry, as you can imagine, so we decided to get a 12 pack of our favorite, hot, Insomnia Cookies!
You may not live in the city or even a bustling suburb, but if you are paralyzed with thinking, or overthinking, of what to do, always remember an object in motion stays in motion. So, get up, get movin’, and get out, even if it’s just for a long walk around your neighborhood. Who says you can’t mix up your favorite cocktail and make it to go. Oh, and you might as well stream your favorite music along the way.
