Day 301 Waiting Part 1

I’m stepping in place today – waiting – waiting for baby, but also waiting for my brother’s operation to be rescheduled, waiting for news of my aunt in hospice. It seems like I’ve spent a lot of my life waiting for one thing or another. How about you? In fact, I’ve spent so much time […]

Day 300: 11,694 Steps YTD: 2,746,834 Steps Goal: 2,827,000 Steps So, day 300. I can see the finish line, but I just figured out that I’m 80,166 steps behind my total goal. That means that for each of the next 65 days I have to make an additional 1233 steps or 12,233 steps per day. […]

Day 294

Still traveling New York… After he put up with my writers’ event in Gloversville, I had to throw Gary a bone, so we stopped at the Remington Arms Museum in Ilion. The museum is part of the actual gun factory, which is a huge brick building with barbed wire all the way around. It kind […]

Day 293

On the road to a book event in Gloversville. Gary and I decided to start a day early and overnight in Cooperstown. We had lunch at this gourmet spot on Rte. 20 near Cherry Valley. We passed on the buffalo burgers, but enjoyed a cheeseburger and soaked up the last of the October son at […]
