19 June 2014

Happy Thursday!

I hope your day went well today. I'd ask you how it went, but I can't hear you. Blog communication is pretty much a one-way channel.

Today had all the ingredients for a busy day at the Jordan Pond House: sun, a full parking lot by 10:30am, a late day in June...For whatever reason, however, the day never got too busy. In fact, our waitlist stayed below 25 minutes. We did have one part of the Pond House which was extremely busy today: the penny press machine. The maintenance guys placed it right in front of the gift shop and within site of the info desk. Through observation I learned that everybody loves to press pennies. That machine will make a pretty penny this summer.

My friend "Humidity" wasn't around today. Instead, my buddy, Pleasant, hung out with me today. I think the dew point was over 20 degrees less today. Thank goodness for the winds of the north. My run today with Pleasant was quite pleasant. I found a great route down to the ocean. It goes alongside a pond and on the edge of a couple of open fields. The only downside of the run is when I went down to the ocean to see how cold it was a rouge wave came in and soaked my left shoe. But it worked out okay because Pleasant was able to have my shoe air dry by the time I made it back to the dorm.

The big excitement of the day was that I wore my contacts. I haven't done that since last winter. My eyes were like, "Whoa bro, what's going on here?" But then they got used to it and everything was fine. Big doings today...

The picture of the day is a shot of Bracy Cove--the halfway point of my run today. In the distance are the Cranberry Isles. Enjoy!
