The Casual Observer.

It’s a matter of choice.

You can be that person: Crammed. Stressed. Parent coaching, waving hands, and clamoring to the closest mid-field stripe.

Or you can be this person: Quiet. Relaxed. Off to the sidelines a bit, under the shady elm by the dogs who are smiling enthusiastically. Knowing, life is about choice.

If the latter, be sure to bring the seat-stick I’ve found.

It helps.

The Casual Observer Seat-Stick (No. 3693). Made by Classic Canes, a family-owned concern from the farmland of Somerset, England.

They know a thing or two about walking sticks and this is no exception. Fully adjustable, virtually indestructible. I’ve enjoyed mine. It used to be more walking stick.

Either way, it’s the proper way to take in life.
