Faster today, maybe stimulated by the resurgent FDFs. Otherwise no explanation.
This was after dropping Mack and Falco off at day camp, a long chat with the long-term director of the Nature Center and good friend Jay Kaplan, and then with his son Josh who was dropping off his kid for camp. Not sure exactly how long, but Jay has been the director there for at least 50 years, working a somewhat reduced schedule now, in deference to his age.

Seemed hard. First time since before we went to Europe. But the back is greatly improved this morning. Actually it was a fair amount better yesterday afternoon after some vigorous rolling and a half hour nap.

One dog loop. Stately pace. A little pressure in the R knee, but nothing sharp.
Lower back spasm after some yard work this morning, so all plans out the window for exercise today. However, a bunch of rolling, which seemed to help.

Note
Zack had been extolling the virtues of the boardwalk trail at Little Pond in Litchfield, so we decided to go check it out on our way to the Festa, the end of year party for the Italian classes in Torrington. We made it out to the boardwalk, and then some serious rain passed through, soaking us. All exacerbated by not having brought a change of clothes, so Rhonda ended up to chilled to stay long at the Festa, which actually suited us fine. Met a guy there who is taking one of the beginner classes, whom I used to work with for a bit when I was helping the state of CT with insurer examinations. I'm afraid I didn't remember him at all, although he not only remembered me, but seems to have known something about me, either through Dona the Italian teacher, or more likely through our neighbor Glen, who is apparently a good friend. Nice guy.
