  • Just some odds and ends...



    The green outline is the boundary of Lake View Cemetery which I call 'Dreamland'.
    The orange ring is the largest fluent loop I could run if I cared to - about 3 miles.
    The inner dark blue loop is the course I usually run - 1.4 miles which I repeat x3, x4, x5, or more times.
    The red star is where I always begin and end.


    Often after running, I sit at the base of the Jeptha Wade (1811-1890) obelisk (red star!) and write/blog using my cellular phone as the wireless modem for my laptop.  I just realized yesterday that Wade was the founder of Western Union and, of course, it was a Western Union internal memo in 1876 that predicted; "This 'telephone' has too many short comings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. This device is inherently of no value to us."  heh


    Memorial Day is the hugest holiday for Dreamland.  Go wonder!  All week long the ground crew has been working overtime to get the grounds looking good.  After Memorial Day, the grounds remain open until 'dusk' for the rest of the summer months.  I love the fuzziness of the notion of 'dusk'.  Imagine going out on a date and someone tells you they'll be there to meet you precisley at dusk!  "...and what time will that be?"  mwuahaha
