Sorry for not writing this yesterday… I was a little overwhelmed… In a very good way. I was on a call with some work friends When they said “don’t you have someplace you have to be”… I realized it was time for the inauguration. I turned it on and ‘Diane and I watched it together. It was just what the nation needed to see.… Independent of your politics… Coming together to do the right thing is so important
It’s the way it always has been and the way it needs to be.
I was thinking later in the day how everything these days is been called “unprecedented”… Finally once again we are “precedented”
Today was Martin Luther King day… Especially poignant this year after all the racial tension. It was the first time I’ve ever had it off as a real holiday… I’m not sure if that’s because I’m officially working in Massachusetts or because everybody is paying more attention. I hope it’s the latter.
Diane and I took off for a couple of hours in the early afternoon to explore the same area around John’s pond up on happy Hollow… But this time on skis. I hate to say it but even after 40 years of cross country ski and still no good at Hills… Either up or down. It was really tough going and I spent a lot of time on my backside trying to climb out of knee-deep snow.… Still it was beautiful up there. The pictures are all of Diane’s camera. Let me see if I can find some I’ll post them later
Gosh what happened on Sunday?… Not much which was kind of wonderful. Diane ‘Kyle and I took advantage of the deep new snow To explore some of the trails around John’s pond at the top of happy Hollow (I love the name happy Hollow)… There’s been a heavy snow after some rain and lots of wind. It made for a magical icing like affect over all the trees.… The snow is pretty deep in some places over my knees which was nice… This is the first real so far we’ve had. It was beautiful
Later in the afternoon we met up with Max, Becky, and Gabe For some “Foote yoga”… Diane top with a class using all sorts of props like tennis balls to help a stretch your feet. It was so great… Relaxing and revitalize. We are so lucky to have our very own Builtin yoga therapist !
