Christmas Day, spent with my DL and my folks.

Prior to the trip, I managed a beautiful 3-miles along the Metacomet from Phelps Road south.

Finished another Black Lizard / Vintage Crime novel.  This time, it was another gem by  Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, "The Laughing Policman", from 1968.

A really nice cold sunny day in McLean Refuge, 6.6-miles.

4-miles late afternoon in McLean Refuge.

Drive to Adams to see the folks with DL.  Stops along the way:

• Mrs. Murphy's
• Cumberland Farm
• Perkarski's
• Angelina's
• Folks

Hard rain throughout, with temperatures jumping from low 60's to 38-degrees.  Off and on, the entire drive to and from.  Photos along Bucklin Road.

3.4-miles along the Metacomet, prior to work.

Long day at work, 3-miles on Main Street at night.

A nice cold sunny morning, 3.4-miles on the Metacomet prior to work.

Music 2018...

Effort #51, "Why Did We Have to Part", a rough one from Marianne Faithfull.

"...It was over and I didn't know it."

After driving out to N. Reading and then Plymouth yesterday, we made the return trip to Connecticut this afternoon.  Excellent visit with C/C & M/T.

Spent the early portion of the day romping through McLean Refuge for 5.5-miles on a grey, damp morning.

3.7-miles along the Metacomet, Phelps Road north.

Run at Stony Brook before work, 3.3-miles - with no issues from hamstring today.

More Chicago pictures, this time from "The Shedd".  We really enjoyed the visit.

Finished reading another Black Lizard / Vintage Crime novel, Jim Thompson's "The Getway", from 1958.
