Skyline Hike

I celebrated my birthday over 5 days last week starting on Thursday when i hiked the 10.8 mile Skyline Trail from Worcester Mountain to Hunger Mountain. This hike starts just 10 minutes from our door and traverses the mountain ridge line that overlooks Worcester.

It was super beautiful and the rain held off and all was well until I stubbed my right pinky toe halfway through the hike. I was hiking in my barefoot shoes and won’t make that mistake again as i am a toe stubber. I thought I broke it but now am not so sure.

BOSTON

We had a rainy cookout campfire party on Friday, my birthday, the day started with Ambiana playing me Happy Birthday on the fiddle and the girls singing. It was way sweet.The cookout was wet but fun and on Saturday the skies really opened and we headed to Boston to visit Gramma, stopping along the way at the IMAX theatre in Reading so I could see the new Star Trek Film. While the girls watched TV I ran a 5 mile run along the Charles and checked out the shrien to the vistims of the Boston Bombers. Gamma lives just 2 blocks from the site of the carnage and we are lucky she was sick that day and did not go to watch the finish like she usually does.

Red Sox 6 Indians 5

Gramma and I went to the Red Sox game on Sunday and though it was windy and cold had a great time as the Sox, trailing 5-2 in the 9th rallied for 4 runs and won on awalk off double by Jacoby Ellsbury!
