Personal:

I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume.

Well that's more like winter. Frozen puddles and, by the end, tiny snow crystals falling on the dry leaves with a crackle, more easily heard than seen. Word has it there will be some accumulation today, not the first of the year (we had a freak snowstorm in October) but the first of the season. The riverside was teeming with runners getting their miles in before the weather hits.

Out to the Northeastern boathouse. Felt pretty good considering it was three days in a row, and more miles than I'd logged, probably, in a year or so.  There were moments where the legs felt dead and my stride was labored at best, but also some nice stretches and all in all I'm pleased with where things are.
