The Premise

It's my 42nd year on this planet, roughly the midpoint of my life, and I thought I'd commemorate such a milestone with a year of ongoing chronicles. Your comments and "co-authoring" (adding your shared experience to any group events) are welcome and encouraged!

Mountain Quest: Watatic

It was nice and sunny, and dry and brisk too (in the fifties). A perfect day to climb a mountain. I made it up the hill in an enjoyable and steady 45 minutes, beating last year's time. I passed a lot of people (2 duos and a quintet of old folks) on the way up. There were mushrooms all over (like my other recent climbs), and a few spots of running water and/or mud (non-issues). It was definitely a great day, especially since I had the summit to myself! 20 minutes of solitude to take in the view, snap a few pictures, eat my customary apple and almonds, and read some of "King's Captain". On the way down I listened to Vanessa Kafka (mostly the live stuff and the ep), thinking that all of the WPMF bands should cover each others' songs for an album. I would call it something like "Local Musicians Share Under the Covers" (haha).
