Weekly Walks
The promise of light rain and cold looms in the forecast, but if we dress well, we should be okay. That said, it being Easter weekend, people may be busier than usual. Maybe a short walk just to say we did it?
Update: there will be a walk this Easter Monday at 9 from Tim’s 2.
Birthday Alert
A certain blog writer is celebrating a milestone on the 24th (Thursday). There will be a musical convocation/party for this at the Linsmore Tavern that evening. Doors at 8 and Félix & the Cats set up first. You’re all welcome!

i won’t be out after all. Happy Easter everyone.

I plan to walk tomorrow, depending on the weather. Forecast says thunderstorms around 8-9am. But then they said the rain wouldn’t start until 4pm today and I got caught in the rain at noon!
I’ll confirm in the morning.
