Took the dogs up to the lookout above the ice beds.

Different focus.

First day of summer training at Okemo.

Lots of haze from the wildfires in Quebec today. Emily and Katie looking pensive.

Kaylie in training.

Emma, Jack, Charlie, and Jared in training.

Drove down to Concord for the class of 1983 40th reunion. Crazy that we’re so old. Spent most of the day with Damon and Don. Damon took the pic of me and Don in the stairwell.

Too many people, not enough time. The class pics and the one of me and Don were taken by the event photographer.

Liesurely breakfast, then headed home in early afternoon. I’d saved half of my boxed lunch from the day before and was looking forward to eating it on the drive but the housekeeping cleaned out the fridge in the common room before i could retrieve it, dammit.

Welcome meeting and mini golf and lunch at Okemo.

More training.

Foggy morning, then final day of training.

Opening day, and in a harbinger of things to come, rain.

The dogs spotted a deer on the road.

Spent some time over at The Mint—the makerspace in Rutland—engraving a piece of mat board for a framed picture.

Lucy and i hiked with the dogs over to Wallingford Pond. Saw some leeches.

I took one picture today.

I also took one picture today.

More rain.

Otter Creek.

More hazy wildfire skies.
