After looking at Mount Aeneas across the lake for 17 years, we finally hiked it. It might have been the name of the trailhead (Camp Misery) that made us hold off so long.

What are the odds that this boat would just barely (and I mean baaaaarely) fit inside my garage? The windshield rubbed the top of the garage door weatherstripping as it went in. And there is no more than one-half inch excess space between the back wall and the garage door.
I pre-measured everything, but with those kinds of close tolerances I could never be sure that it would fit, beforehand.
But I lucked out! In hindsight, I should have bought a lottery ticket too.
As long as the garage does not shrink this winter, it should work out fine.

I have learned that in life
few endeavors are more heartening for the sole
than sunrise beach walking.
It is not difficult
nor is it expensive.
Just get your ass out of bed early,
grab a pair of earphones with good music,
find a hardpack sandy beach that goes on forever,
and put one foot in front of the other.
You will thank yourself afterwards.
