I had a strange 'Twilight Zone' experience last night at my son's high school basketball game. I had gone to the ladies room, which being in a high school with typically vain teenage girls, had full length mirrors at each end of the row of stalls. I had on blue jeans and a blue sweater. As I left my stall and turned right, a teenage girl stepped out of a stall in front of one of the mirrors. She also had on blue jeans and a blue sweater. For about a 10th of a second I thought that it was my reflection in the mirror. Then she moved to the sink and the image in the mirror immediately gained 60 lbs, aged 40 years and had my mothers face. Scared the crap out of me! Then I realized it was my reflection. That was scarier still! The moral of the story is.... if you are at DePere High School and you have to go to the bathroom, just hold it until you get home.
Anyway back to my walk. In Green Bay today I put in 6 miles in 20+ degree weather. I've finished my Game of Thrones books, which has lasted several weeks for me. I was getting kind of tired of listening to them, mainly because there are so many plots and characters that you really need to pay attention and the last book hasn't been written yet. I know that by the time the next book comes out, I'll have forgotten where all the characters left off and will have to reread the books or be totally lost. Now I'm listening to John Grishams new book 'The Litigators'. I always like his stuff and so far this one is going well.
In my fantasy journey, I am still on the first part of the C&O Canal trail along the Potomoc River. The elevation here fell 41 feet in less than a mile. The falls and gorges are spectacular. Plus, it's almost 50 degrees here today. Balmy compared to Wisconsin.
