three mile

Walked three miles today. The toe and the gout are much better. It's arthritic but getting better. Walked along the Derby 'Greenway,' which is aside the Naugatuck River. It's in turn fed by Lake Zoar and the Housatonic, where i always kayak. 

The Seahawks won! They are 5-4 and play the hapless Jets next week. 

2 1/2 weeks to Thanksgiving! Holy crap! I think we'll be in Jersey at Mel and Jan's. It's early this year. Normally it is the last week in November, except if the weekend flips the calendar into December. Then it is the third Thurs. Why? Because Jefferson, Washington and Adams never would have wanted to shorten the official Xmas shopping season by even a few days, that's why! Better to add an extra 4 or 5 days! It's what Jesus would have wanted. USA! USA! USA!
