December 28, 2011 - Hike 35

Hoyt Arboretum - Spruce, Wildwood, and Fir Trails - 2.1 miles

Rainy, windy day in the Portland area. Time for a hike anyway, so where to go? Thank goodness for Washington Park. We started out at the Hoyt Arboretum and decided to take whichever trail looked inviting. Mostly we were looking for the least muddy trail. It is nice to get out and hike even if the weather is not ideal.

Having a great winter break so far. We were in California for the first week and then came home for Christmas. Now we are spending time enjoying the company of each other as well as Lindsey and Brian. Lindsey will be home until the middle of January. Around the 7th a friend of Lindsey's (Carl) will be staying with us until the dorms open at Reed.

Trying not to think of school too much, but I spent most of the day on Tuesday grading papers. Those dreaded International Baccalaureate Internal Assessment papers (about 75 this year) take about 15 minutes each to grade. I have about 30 left to grade. I have piled them into three piles of 10 to make it more manageable. Well I should attack one pile now! Take care.
