Busy day. Nearly cloudless and coolish. Lovely, really. Worked a lot, rode my bicycle, hiked Beech Hill with Jack.

Nothing too noteworthy to report from the hike—other than the catbird I happened to spot in the greenery, standing on one leg. Also, the big orange cat is still hanging around, killing chipmunks and whatnot.

I hear there’s a migration going on tonight.
