Independence day, more or less, still had to stop at the office for some loose ends, ditto tomorrow, but spent much of the day pretty much vegetating. Felt great!
And then a late afternoon ride to Northampton to retrieve the Subaru. Keeping in the fine spirit of the day, had a gentle tailwind all the way. :-)
Haven't done the final numbers, but it was a good "year" at the office, business was up about 10% despite no advertising and the usual attrition of the base from people dying or moving away. Nothing like good word of mouth. And now, having crammed 6 months of work into 3 months, I get to spread 1 month (actually probably more like 2 weeks) of work over the next 9 months. Excellent. And even opened a bottle of champagne last night, thanks to my good friend Dave who stopped by with it.
Now it's time for some orienteering and rogaining and rogaine practice (ie. golf, though my ribs may object for a little while) and who knows what other adventures I can dream up. While I still can.

A late evening stroll up South Sugarloaf, clear, no wind, no moon, just to get reminded of being out at night again. Would be nice to have the same conditions in Arizona in a month.
Hanging in there well on the diet, though it is much easier to avoid eating after dinner when dinner doesn't end until 10 than when dinner is over by 7. But it is much easier to stick with it if you see results. So far, so good. There are certain targets for my running, don't know if I will make them, but the weight has to come off first.
And only then will it be time to see if any serious orienteering this summer makes sense. All the stuff this spring is just for fun, especially the rogaine, thoughts of which kept me going through the winter. 30 days.
