Do you often pace back and forth, even absentmindedly? If so, the last time you did it, what was the reason?


  When I talk on the phone and I’m standing up, I pace back and forth, especially during long conversations. It began as a habit of mine when I was young, in the days before cell phones and even before cordless phones, when all telephones had a cord. I was limited by the length of the cord, but there were times when I would go the entire extreme distance the cord allowed. Now that cords are less prevalent, I only do it every now and then.

    I pace quite often. It started after my back surgery, when, after stopping using a walker, pacing was all I could do. I still do it. I do it during ad breaks on TV.
