Good day!
Go Pack Go! Yeah, Im a huge Packers fan. I love that theyre a fan-owned team, & are run that way.
Hard to believe that little, unassuming me enjoys NFL football, or maybe not.
I rather like that 11 men must work together for the greater good to win games.
Be everwell.
5 Holt Trail on Mt Cardigan, NH
3-5 mi Moderate & Hard New photo from a recent family jaunt up Holt, showing the profile of this challenging trail.
Never a bad day to be in the woods.

Good day!
Yay, cooler temperatures!
Boo, bad smoke. Maybe the wind will shift.
Im exhausted, but too driven to stop. I edited a short chapter yesterday, but also added 3,139 words to the novella.
This is what happens to me when I draft. I love it.

Good day!
Another productive day, yesterday on the writing front. I added 2,175 words to the novella & edited a chapter.
Im choosing my shortest chapters to aid the drafting, &, yes, all this means putting in long hours.
When you love what you do it isnt work.
Be everwell.

Good day!
What a day yesterday!
Discovered that Id lost 4 lbs. I then walked all the faster with my trekking poles in the cooler weather.
Caught fire on the backstory novella & added 2,585 words. My fingers were flying.
Still managed to edit a Book4 chapter.

Good day!
I returned to the novella again yesterday for a short time, while also editing a short chapter.
Lets see if I can repeat that success.
The wimpy heatwave breaks today. Ive hardly noticed it except that now I can think about at least a short hike.
Be everwell.
03
Good day!
This is supposed to be our last day of heat. Truthfully, it hasnt been much of a heatwave.
It doesnt heat up until extremely late in the day. I dont have AC, yet my place has remained cool.
No complaints from me, but Ill also welcome the cool weather.
Be everwell.
02
Good day!
Mount Sentinel, which is really just a promontory on a bigger mountain. Ive climbed both.
Theres a huge M on the mountain just above the foreground trees.
Unseen, the university sits at its feet. Each year, students repaint the M.

Good day!
That moment when you climb into the clouds, enter dense forest, & finally emerge atop a promontory to discover this.
Startled Oh, I was so startled.
I also kept waiting for creepy scientists to jump out & grab me.
Ive already dealt with sinister doctors.

Good day!
Ghost tree. If youve never hiked in the clouds, I recommend it.
Sure, it was damp & chilly, but it was also surreal. The world becomes more intimate when that astonishing drop off the side of the trail is suddenly not there.
Nothing is there.

When your tail goes onto a slope recently logged for fire mitigation.Spent a great day today shredding singletrack trails with a friend in the Wiener Wald around Vienna. Amazing network of trails, even a public bike park. I could totally live in this city..

Good day!
Ive lived in Montana for 11yrs & never saw a rabbit here. This summer, Ive seen 4.
This one, whod taken a wrong turn in Albuquerque, hopped onto the road, zigged & zagged for a ways, before finally crossing the road & disappearing to the left.

What Nihon Falcom game is your favorite
I find them to be somewhat underrated. I mean, they're a well-known name and are veterans of JRPGs, but people tend to not think of them first and foremost when they think of JRPGs.
For me, it's too hard to pick a favorite yet since I'm still pretty new to them (started with Tokyo Xanadu), but I'm absolutely digging Trails in the Sky so far. The world building is a massive step above most JRPGs!

Good day!
I gambled & it paid off!
The forecast said sunny, but I know the clouds linger in the mountains the day after it rains.
I drove up Pattee Canyon at sunrise & then climbed the old forest road like a woman possessed.
Within 30 minutes, I was in the clouds.

Good day!
I want to, I need to, Im going to hike. In fact, Im out of here as fast as I can leave. It wont be a big hike, but Im getting outside.
The trail is a place where, for a little while, I can think.
When I return home, Ill jump back into editing Book4.

What QueensLink says about Atl Beltline Transit:
> What happens when you build the trails before the rails You get Atlantas Beltline, a project which after two decades has still not added the rail.
> QueensWay and the Trust for Public Land know this and are trying to prove to elected officials that their anti-transit scheme is what residents want...

Good day!
I had a difficult night last night. Ill exclude details. As someone living alone, it means I have to be careful how I approach my day.
One wrong step & I could spiral with no one here to diffuse it.
Thats why its something Ive trained myself to do.

View from Jug End, Taconic Mountains, Massachusetts. August 25, 2025.
A hard fall on the steep descent from Jug End and a deep bruise to my right shoulder. I'll be fine in about a week, but it did cut short my plans for a six-week hike after one great week. I won't be able to do much with my right arm for a week or so. I'm disappointed, but I learned a lot for the next hike.

Good day!
I spent at least 10 minutes in the bathroom yesterday cryingafter witnessing Evie Cat doing backflips behind the door while playing.
She ended up swatting at the toy upside down with her butt up the wall.
This cat makes me laugh so hard its painful.

Good day!
It happened again while editing Book4. I ran into a chapter where Riparias character was wrong.
Book4 is the last one written before I switched to Riparia & sometimes I find fixes that are in name only.
Its a lot of work, but oh so worth the effort.
Be everwell.
