Friday, 19th June -- You should all be getting the June newsletter today or tomorrow -- if you don't, be sure to check your spam.
Great hike yesterday, the first third nearly straight up -- well, okay, not quite that bad, but lots of steps, then a bit of flat, then LOTS more steps and back and forth to the top of Spencer Ridge. Then the gorgeous walk through the eucalyptus forest to a fire road up to the top of yet a higher ridge (yep, all uphill) with views from the ocean, Rodeo Beach, the incredible Marin headlands to San Francisco coast to the city and all the way to Oakland. I'm posting the video today. You stand there looking at the crazy gorgeousness and are grateful you're alive and able to see it.
It's the end of the week yet again -- which means it's fun night in our household. No worries, no telling Alexa to set the alarm, eating Pistachios (unshelled and salted) and trying to find a comedian we like and haven't seen before.
Gym, of course, from noon to noon forty-five and of course climbing on the bike (while watching Warrior play-offs -- only when they won, of course, which in the past 5 years has been most of the time).
What are you guys up to this very fine evening? After your walk, what will happen? A BBQ in the backyard, maybe a backyard hair cut, maybe a chat over the fence with neighbors?
Still trying to find a series I like. Does anyone have any great programs/series to recommend?
Out and walk on this lovely Friday -- and don't forget, SBB --
