Spouse and I joined the Betty Ehart Senior Center hiking group this morning for their 8:05am start. Norma came up from Pojoaque to hike so Mary tailored the hike for her because Norma's a bit slow. We went to the LANL Fitness Trail near the Wellness Center, parking in the big lot that replaced the running track that I used to love to go to. I thought the Fitness Trail was closed after 9-11-2001 but I'm glad I was wrong. This gives me a new option of a close-in, quick trail to do my 4 miles. It goes all the way to S-Site. I'll go back to explore this area and work out some 4 mile walks.
There were 9 of us on the hike. Art always does his own hike but today Jane, who's lived in LA since January 2008, joined him for a cross country trek back. It was fun being with people. Spouse was excited to meet Bob Cowan who's a well-known nuclear physicist. I always like spouse better when we're in a group because I appreciate his true, gregarious, intelligent nature better. At home, I'm so likely to classify him as brain dead when he asks where something is before he even looks for it.
Even though it's his Friday off, spouse had to go into work for an hour to check on some computer runs. I have to stay home to wait for the plumber to fix our kitchen sink leak. I actually vaccumed the kitchen floor for him so he doesn't have to lie in filth when he gets under the sink.
The group only did 3 miles so I'll get in 1 more this evening. I walk to the Gordon's Concert and back.
Channel 13 says we're having a good monsoon and it should last until Labor Day. It looks dark over the mountains and I hear thunder.
Guess all thoughts of brevity have gone with the wind!
