Tuesday

Another warm one, 80.1F, and I'm looking forward to a shower when I get home- spent most of the day moving furniture around the nursery school so am a bit of a sweaty mess!

Well, after some fooling around with different photo apps this morning I think I have settled on Camera Advance Lite (and if I keep using it I'll upgrade to the full version- I like to support developers of good software). It works simply, seems to have pretty good auto white balance and has a nice interface that makes it easy to email a picture to my blog.

Uh-oh! I upgraded my phone this morning by installing the same hacked firmware I've been using on my Nook- and I guess it doesn't play well with the ProZoom 5X camera app I've been using, and unfortunately I didn't notice this 'til I got home. I'll have to revert back to the native camera app while I do some delving...

Father's Day

Lovely weather, sunny, 78.3F and low humidity.

I'm posting this from home after my walk as I was doing my good deed for the day when I snapped the picture-

Just before the bridge I ran into a family (Mike, his wife, and 2 girls about 5- twins?)  who had started on the Weinberg Nature Center trail (about 1 1/2 miles north)  and got lost. So Holly and I guided them to the parking lot where I park (about 1/2 mile from this bridge)  and left the mom and the girls at the playground while I drove the Dad to the Nature Center parking lot to pick up his car.

No music, chatting with the family about the woods.

Thursday- much going on in the woods

Warm and sticky,  78.4F.

Much going on with helicopters overhead and cops and TV satellite trucks in the parking lot. Apparently they've found a body in the woods (although it sounds like in the other direction from where I walk) - see my regular blog for more if I find anything out.

Monday, running a bit late


Just the short loop today as I'm running late due to:
1. Being Don while he's on vacation and therefore having to clean the nursery school
2. Having to pick up Crisp and all his stuff as it's locker clean-out day
3. Picking up our first bag of veggies from the CSA at the synagogue (organic salad for dinner!)

Kinda temperate, 69.4F

Thursday- Hot!

It's 88.6F now, having cooled from 96 earlier, but it's VERY humid and it's got very overcast so I think we'll get a storm before long.  They actually closed all the Rye schools early at 1pm today because of the heat!

Friday, turned out nice again :)


Another lovely day, 69.7F,  sunny and a light breeze.

Long loop today at a leisurely pace :)
We got hold of Crispy's summer reading list for 7th grade the other day, and I was thrilled to find that it includes The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy! They have flagged it as "challenging", but I think he's more than up to it, and as I can quote huge sections of it from memory he can ask me if he needs any of it explaining. I'm really looking forward to finding out what he thinks of it- I think he's going to love it!

I dug out my CDs of the original radio series so that we can listen to it onto the way down to NC in August (after he's read the book of course- although really the radio series came first...) and I'm currently enjoying it as I walk through the woods :)
