Duck in the woods. (Obviously back in STL)

Legs are shot from Friday so stayed in the valley and poked around Stewart Park and the golf course. Then a brief visit with mom and headed back home.

Plantations trails.

Jogging over to Ithaca High School (we’re staying a few blocks away), warmup, and the jog back after.

Ithaca Turkey Trot. Predicted time run and all I knew about the course was that it was “around” 5.5 miles of mixed surface and included the trail I used to walk home from school (which is a PM#4-level effort that bolts straight up the fall line into Cayuga Heights). Put down 40, figuring it should run like a 10K. Didn’t go all out, but it was an honest effort.

Hanging around the activities room afterwards with nobody to talk to brought back all sorts of unwanted memories from 39 years ago; (believe it or not, I was even more asocial when I moved to Ithaca at 15 and knew none of my classmates). Missing by 92 seconds put me way out of the awards, so I didn’t stay for long.

In Dayton.

In to work via bus.

Lost a network switch in the data center and everything went down. Prod failed over to Canada, but us developers were left with throwing pencils at the ceiling or enjoying what might be the best afternoon of the fall. Ran home via Faust/tracks/powerline.
