The Lay of the Land

 Had time to go for a little walk before bell choir practice. I didn't measure it, but I'm going to say 1.5 miles. Forgot to take dinner with me, so I had to go buy something.

The walk was in the Ludington School Forest, and with the leaves down, I was surprised to see that there is a fairly significant hill in the middle of it. Well, not hugely significant, but I really thought there was almost no topography in there, so I was surprised.

The lay of the land at home is leaning into Christmas. Om and Josh put up the tree today.

Yes, it's small. Those of you who know us will recognize that this is a recent switch. But I've finally convinced Om that we should get trees that we can lift without help. It was just fortuitous that Josh came by.

Right after bell practice, I went to Writer's Group. I will see if I want to continue doing these two intense events in a row every other week. Just got home, after 9:30 pm, so you can see it's a big chunk of concentrated time.

I did also manage to write part of my next column for Ludington Daily News and double check some research for Vacation from DMS.

Miles hiked in 2024: 532.
