Q: I'm trying to get my 87 year old father in law out of the house so we can get a bit of exersise and these are today's excuses. I normally would take him to Barton Creek Mall, but now he is complaining that the car gets to hot, sitting in the parking lot. Any suggestions? Wow! William did ya miss the part where it says that he is 87 years old. After fighting in world war 2 I think he has already grown a pair.

A: Have you considered Whole Foods Market? I realize that it is a market and not a trail or track, but is certainly big enough to walk about and offers covered/shaded parking in the garage below. Plus, after cruising the aisles, you could grab a gelatto, take a seat and people watch for a while. I hope this helps.
