Mileage: route around Maple Avenue Lake and the Wetlands, total for the day, 4.14 miles Today I discovered that the camera in my Blackberry has a zoom feature.

Mileage today: 2.95 miles, which reflects the fact that I didn’t get out for my usual walk. I blame meetings, etc. The lack of mileage means that I can reflect on reading, specifically my progress through what I consider the quintessential Yorkshire novel, Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte. I began my Yorkshire reading with a [...]

Mileage: 1.5, along the National Heritage Road, past the Oakley Observatory, and back; total for the day, 3.5. Setting out around 9:30 this morning, the sky appeared ominous. It seemed likely that my walk would end in a downpour. The clouds over the football practice field almost convinced me to retreat to my dry office. [...]

Mileage: 2 miles walking the golf course, 3.5 miles for the day. Although the mileage remains the prime mover (apropos of walking), I promised to read Yorkshire-appropriate literature. Thus, Charlotte Bronte. As part of the perambulation project, I plan to read Yorshire literature, but I started with a non-Yorkshire Bronte novel, Villette, because I have been [...]

Mileage: 2 miles around Maple Avenue Lake and the Wetland Trail at Hawthorne Park. Total mileage for the day: 4.6. The path up to the lake is bordered by blooming honeysuckle: After a solid weekend of rain, the skies cleared on Monday, so the trip around Maple Avenue Lake was particularly pleasant. I passed several fishermen. [...]
