I met up with an old friend out here – quite by chance – with his mother, and the four of us (with Hops) did a few light-and-easy hikes, the only ones where dogs are permitted in Big Bend Ranch State Park. I am here in large part for the mountain biking, but I’m easing into it slowly, I guess. I’m working on a book review under deadline, and while I have these friends here I’m spending time with them. I’m a little anxious to get on the bike! But also luxuriating in the lovely expanse of time I have ahead of me. I can always ride tomorrow…
