River walking


To celebrate another freakishly nice weather, I put away the books and pulled on my shorts and sneakers. There is a really nice, paved trail that skirts the edge of campus. Walked a nice loop along the Hocking River, then up Court Street to my house.

Living in Chicago, I developed a taste for ambling. Today was the first day I had a proper amble here in Ohio. I do lots of walking, but it's very destination-oriented. Up the hill to the theater, up the hill to the library, up the hill to the Gator, et al. Instead of hitting the hill, I got a much more scenic, leisurely walk. Gorgeous trees, bright blue sky, slow-flow river. And Chicago is scenic, but in a different way.

Didn't get as much work done as I would have liked, but how many more days like this will I get?
