Turns out, pumpkin pie without whipped cream is also good with a hoppy beer. 🥧🍺

Daily gratitude: Today I’m grateful that the snow on the sidewalk melted before I had to shovel it.
Pretty icy out there.
This is the first decision point on my runs. If it’s going to be a short run, I go right. Today was a long run, so I went left.
Less than a mile further along. I’m always a little surprised by the people who would rather see a blank wall than a wonderful footpath.
About the mid-point of today’s run, my longest of the season.
The immature Bald Eagles I’ve been seeing occasionally the last couple of years are all grown up!
Depending on how far I want to run, I can choose any of several routes through or past Burwash Park. Whichever I take, by the time I get here I’m about 1 mile from home.
Only very old playgrounds still have monkey bars, jungle gyms, or pull-up bars. This modern playground at least has a horizontal bar at the top of the slides which is suitable for doing inverted rows. I took the opportunity of running past to do a quick set. 🏃🏻♂️
I think we should get some house stationery, but I really think we should name our house.
“House stationery … may be used by any resident of the house or by any guest during their stay. It’s typically personalized with the name or address of the house…”
