Yesterday, me and several Westchester Geeks went for a hike at Westmoreland Sanctuary. Originally, the plan was to hike at Arthur Butler Sanctuary but Sean, the event host, explained that the parking lot was filled with police and fireman.
As I drove up it was drizzling, but with the unreliable weather prediction all week, the event was a go.
It was four of us in total which was nice since we all knew what we were capable of hiking the trails. The tree cover kept us dry from the rain, but the humidity made us sweaty and lunch for the mosquitoes.
The nicest part of the hike was watching the rain fall on the Lost Pond.

In Honor Of Father's Day
Several years ago I was given the advice of "You didn't write it down, it didn't happen" and I've followed it ever since. Before I got my first iPod Touch (thanks Brian) I carried a note pad with me.
I still like writing things down with a piece of paper and a pen from time to time, and it's all thanks to my Dad.
It actually started when I worked for him at his grocery store. As a stock boy, I would have to fill the soda and beer cases several times during the longer shifts. My Dad gave me a piece of folded paper and a pencil for me to write down how many six-packs and two liters I'd need from the downstairs storage room. Believe it was easier to write it down first, and then lug up the hand-truck as little as possible up 2 flights of stairs.
My Dad still carries a piece of paper and pen with him where ever he goes (despite me buying him Field Notes and the Space Pen.

Some Weekends Are A Blur
Yesterday I had a errand to run and decided to kill two birds with one stone. After I got my car from it's inspection, I went food shopping.
I dropped off my car Friday night so I spent Saturday morning, changing my bed sheets, rotating the mattress, and giving the Brita a thorough cleaning. All this was done after a hearty breakfast. I rediscovered quinoa and it's many uses in meals.
Since I had to walk an hour for my car, I made an omelette with black beans, sun-dried tomatoes, and red quinoa. This mix of power foods gave me the energy to do all fore mentioned chores in addition to walking.
