I’m very late to the party in learning about Paul Skallas aka LindyMan, twitter mogul and champion of the ‘lindy walk’. I find his self-anointed status as Lindy Arbiter very charming. I like his unflinching earnestness and altruistic motivations. With the lindy walk, Skallas has repackaged the age-old peripatetic ideal of pensively walking without a destination in mind. He exhorts his followers to take lindy walks with endearing zeal, insisting on the edification of perambulating with the sole end of drinking in one’s environment. He rightly points out that the Romans heralded such ambling as a luxury and status symbol; he fluently traces the historical link between walking and thinking.
