Take a walk!

NFL Pro Bowl week is winding down. Didn't go to the game and opted instead to watch a few minutes on TV. Looks like the game ended without a lot of rain, but they sure timed it right. A few showers passed in the afternoon followed by a few grey but dry hours at sunset. As I write this evening after dinner it has poured outside my window for most of the last hour. I've got to face the music and walk Cal one last time before we call it a night.
A much different scene from a little over 24 hours ago. I snapped this as I walked around KoOlina. A few weeks into the New Year but now working on those resolutions - trying to get an hour of walking in 3-4 times a week. With this backyard, it is easy once you step out the door.

Honor & Remember

Back in October I spent a week in Virginia for work meetings. During free time I went to the Mall and wandered as much as I could. Top on my to-see list was the Martin Luther King Jr. monument at the Tidal Basin. It was a beautiful, quiet fall day and very early in the morning when I walked around. A much different day in many ways from the weather and activity today, but it was on my mind as I watched some of the inauguration coverage. Took more pictures but will limit this post to just one. Of the multiple panels and inspiring quotes, I will share this: "We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." (1968)
