  A visit with Skip and Connie.     We’ve know them for years, but haven’t seen them in years either.  More catching-up than we could get to this visit.   Then the gender-reveal party for Matt and Lindsay on Facebook Live.  It’s a girl.   A walk around Waneka Lake Park.     A new recent record; 1.2 miles.  Still a gentle pace, we took an hour, but stamina is returning.  I’m ready to announce that we’re officially back to where we were eight days ago, before the kidney stone!   Dinner with Becky and family again. Always a delight.   Following World Cup with Brian this year.  

    Twenty minutes.  Six-tenths of a mile.  A gentle pace.  

  We’re at a really nice extended stay hotel in Longmont, Candlewood Suites.   We’ve got a living room.   Kitchen.   Bedroom.   And Bath.   As much as we like it here, all day in one place can get a little long though.  It shortens the days if we go off and walk somewhere different and interesting each day.  Up until the last couple days, that has worked just fine.  With this heat wave though, we’re at about a hundred degrees for a high.  That’s too hot for me to walk, even if we get out early.   So today’s walk: Air conditioned hallways.   And stairways.  

  Golden Ponds in Longmont.   It wasn’t that much of a walk though.  We waited a little too late in the day.  Mid-nineties is too hot for a sensitive soul like me right now.  

  A drive around the town of Lyons.   A walk on a side road.   Dinner at Becky’s.   That’s a pretty good normal.
