Well, I’m officially a day hiker, as opposed to a thru-hiker. We used to chuckle at them as they passed by on the trail, amidst a cloud of perfume.

Although I do not think I smelled like a day hiker, I went out for the day just for a few miles. It was nice to be hiking again. I had an odd feeling come over me. The path was flat. Not Virginia-flat, which is not very flat, but a literal flat. 0.0% grade.

Although I plan to hike now and then, it is no longer my life and every reason for my being. Perhaps I will change my blog to reflect that. Form follows function. What is my function in life?
