Arm strength has definitely been increasing since winterguard began. These are on a list of things I can work on at home. I'll be able to do this easily before the season is over.

So I went to Rocksport with Thomas, Amanda, and Kyle mid-November. It was a blast and reminded me how much I enjoy the sport.

14. Climb a tree
Yeah so it was a fallen one at Berhneim, but still! It was big.

Done. Mike Revel and I ended our date in August?September? by spending at hour or so at the park across the street from the library. We were on the swings for a little bit, but most of the time was spent on the monkey bars. He showed me how to go horizontal on a vertical pole! That sounds so wrong.

75. Make a day of the St. James Art Festival
Done! Jane and I spent nearly four hours in wandering around. An hour in Central Park to decompress. It was lovely. We discovered that the alley that runs between third and fourth street is a nice walk, and perfect for a photoshoot. XD
Of course this will be repeated every year I am in Louisville. I'd love to fill my blank white wall with St. James.

After a somewhat frustrating morning, Rachel and I stopped by Central Park to just... sit. It was lovely and peaceful and green, and exactly what we needed. We talked a little, both napped, and I wrote. Thank you, parks, for a little bit of sanity.
