I love my job

I had two longish chapters to review for a publisher and it was a beautiful, unseasonably warm day.   So I left work at 2:30, came home and changed, and then drove over to a trailhead at the base of the Shawangunk Ridge.  Hiked up to a cliff overlooking the fall colors of the Rondout Valley and Catskills and sat, just me and a large vocal raven, and read the chapters there instead of in my office.  I was far less distracted, relaxed a bit, and got some exercise and fresh air.  Not bad.
