Anthony and I visited Zak<\/a> and\nhis 3-and-a-half-year-old son Gen for a day<\/span> of play, including a trip<\/span> to\nthe same park in Otsu City that Anthony and Monet played in last week (that\nI mentioned<\/span> on my Overwhelmed: an Embarrassment\nof Riches<\/a> post).<\/p>\n\n

The two boys spent most of the time playing in the water.<\/p>\n\n

At this point they started to walk away on the path (a path<\/span> that leads\ndown to a busy<\/span> street), so I yelled<\/span> down for them to come back.\nThree-year-old Gen, being the three-year-old that he is, turned heel and\nstarted running away, so I took<\/span> off down after him.<\/p>\n\n

I was carrying my camera (the non-small Nikon D200 mounted with a big<\/span> Nikkor 70<\/span>-200 f\/2.8 zoom<\/a>\nand<\/i> a 1.7× teleconverter) all attached to my 8-foot-long monopod<\/a>, yet I still<\/span> ran\nperhaps the fastest I've run in the last 20 years: the GPS unit in my\npocket recorded a maximum<\/span> speed of 29kph. For reference, a four<\/span>-minute mile\nis 24kph. (But, of course, I didn't<\/span> run for a whole<\/span> mile, and I was<\/span> also\nrunning downhill \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n\n

On the way back, Anthony showed me some chestnuts he'd been carrying\nthroughout the water play....<\/p>\n\n

You can see them in his hand in this picture from earlier when he and\nGen were playing at the playground and Anthony suggested that they go play\nin the water in the first place...<\/p>\n\n
