AM: 9.3 miles on the Pipeline Trail. I had planned to go 15 but my legs were just feeling dead. I blame the striders.

I've been trying to feel optimistic about this whole situation but there's this underlying funk, kind of a persistent sadness, that's creeping in. Need to think of a way to shake up the routine a little bit without violating any of our new social norms.

Had a good afternoon. Andy and I drove up Parley's Canyon towards Park City, stopped at the Jeremy Ranch Store and got a Pizza Hut Pizza and a some Tru-Moo. Then we drove around the mountains for a while listenening to the sequel to Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. The River I think. Descended Emmigration Canyon (which actually should be called Immigration Canyon) and ended up at Highland High where Andy drove for the first time on the drivers ed range. He did a great job.

Wait, six year olds can drive these days?! I’ve never met the lad but c’mon, he’s 15/16??

How's the book? I own Hatchet but never read any of the sequels.

14.5 Doug. Crazy!

There's a whole bunch of the Jon. Andy's almost 15 but still likes them.

Yeah- I know I've seen all the "Brian" books at the library. I never read any other than the original.
