On one of my last Monday's off for a while, I'm heading out to Lema Ranch for a brisk walk over a couple of loops of those trails to wake up my week. (I am doIng this partly out of guilt from missing the IMAX hike I set up but have since found a family conflict with. So, I'll settle for this wonderful outside experience.)

Two circuits is about six miles and we may be able to see some goslings, tippie-toe through goose poop and basically enjoy the great big sky and those outside smells and sounds!!!

As I write this there is a 30% chance of rain but I am commanding that the sun join us, at least for the 90 minutes it will take to do the six miles. I'll check on Sunday afternoon and try to decide by then if we need to cancel.

Meet at the parking lot after going through the roundabout.

  Weatherunderground, my favorite forecast site, shows partly sunny conditions with a temp around 50 at 10 a.m. Monday, when we start. I think Mother Nature or the Being in Control will allow me to think that my command for sun was heeded. I just think they will let me THINK that.

  Oh well, it doesn't matter because the sun will be there with the three or four of us so far planning to go, including the Energizer Bunny, Annie.

  I'd bring an outer layer of fleece at least for the start.
