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.
