I want to comment on the WI group's birthday celebrations. First of all, a fellow hiker told me today that the birthdays are only celebrated if they fall on Wednesday which is the day the group hikes. She said that her birthday would next fall on Wednesday 11 years from now. I have to wonder if the Wednesday business is true because they seem to be always celebrating someone's birthday.
At the birthday celebrations, they have cake and drink champagne, neither of which I do. No presents are exchanged. My informant told me that at first she didn't go to the birthday celebrations either but then she "grew fond" of the hikers in the group. (Either that or drinking champagne in the afternoon after a hike gives an irresistibly addictive, bubbly high!)
Anyway, for the meantime, I'll continue boycotting the birthday parties. I did, though, wish the birthday man and woman a Happy Birthday!
The hike was almost 5 miles today. I felt great on it but am tired now.
My right foot is no better and no worse. I see a podiatrist in Albuquerque on Tuesday.
I left a message for the hiker we left behind but I haven't heard back from her yet.
