12/1: morning walk

I knew that the day would be nutty with various preparing-to-return-to-school tasks, so I made sure to go walking in the morning, even though I prefer the afternoon or evening.  I was glad I choose the morning today because the wind was high and the air was bracing.  I don't really miss northern winters and their day-in-day-out cold, but I enjoy the air here when it reminds me of how nice it can feel to make one's way in the chill.
