New place to hike
Beverly has been better about walking than I have, so I was happy to set out with her this morning. We discovered a path into the woods that turned out to be quite a deep trail.
This auto wreck is old, and reminded me of the woods I played in as a boy. There were miles and miles of woods behind the house in which I grew up. Deep in the middle of the woods there were abandoned cars, and I wondered if they were there before the trees. I could not see a path the these cars might have used to drive in.

Bella
I was on my Sunday walk, about a mile from home, when I saw this little dust ball running on and off of Perring Parkway. I ran across the street, and was able to coax her to come to me.
She is very sweet, and I was able to carry her home and then I found her family. Her name is Bella, and she is 12.
What a fantastic day in Baltimore! First thing in the morning, we ran a 10K race through downtown. It was bright and cold. Then, we walked over to the convention center and explored the tattoo convention with my daughter. Lots to look at. It was fun.
Finally, we ended our 25 thousand step day with a movie: Late Night with the Devil. It is gloriously set as 1970’s late night TV, and I enjoyed the whole thing. The intro has a recap of late 60’s to early 70’s America, done with a solid 1970’s voice over. It sets the story up in a satisfying way. The filmmakers suggest that what we are going to watch is the original footage coupled with behind the scenes camera work from the Halloween 1977 show.
The premise is that an ailing late night variety show attempts a risky bit of programming on live TV. That was a big draw in the 1970’s.
I made a mental note in the beginning to watch the cuts between the live TV cameras and the backstage, commercial break footage. And I lost track when hell broke lose, which tells me they did a nice job.
The first race of the year. Wonderful. It was very windy.
We made great time,
we had a great time,
we came in far from last,
we truly had a blast.
Someone, stop me!
