The upstate so far
Anticipation got the better of me this morning, and I woke up at 4:25 and could not return to sleep. I left Long Island nearly an hour later. As a result of this morning's trip, I now have a better appreciation for my mother's insistence on leaving at seemingly ungodly hours every time she brought me back here to Cornell.
A merry band of five set off from Ithaca on a wine tour, growing to eight as the afternoon wore on. We got in a nice run around the south end of Seneca Lake this afternoon, hitting the following:
From then we met the rest of the Bone alumni and undergrads at the Glenwood Pines. Once again, the Pinesburger met and exceeded expectations. I thought about heading to the pep rally up on campus, but between the fatigue and the present rain, remaining ensconced at Hillside for now seems a much better decision. The respite is most necessary, as there are more festivities late tonight ahead of another full day of them tomorrow.
