a very good break so far

My break is progressing well. I have gotten some good bike rides in, and a number of hikes with Rob. I sent Kelly an email about my upcoming visit making it clear that if things were too hectic for her, then I would head straight to new York. I also emailed Gloria and I hope she responds. I think it is unlikely. I have finished a draft of my Catskill Life article and I sent out a couple of poems. I finally fixed my sleeping mat holder in my office and now it won’t sag anymore. I haven’t been able to talk to Cathy but I hope she is okay. My finances are tight but I think I am just going to dip a little more into my 403B or else it will be very tight for the next year at least and I don’t want to live that way. I have been doing hikes in the hollow the last few days and that has been very good even though late fall is clearly here. The greenhouse is still producing.
