Outside

"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them--if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
J.D.Salinger,The Catcher in the Rye
Don't even try.
Thursday, bad day, alternately pulling folks from,and then pushing them over the cliff.  Will fix it next week.  200 swings and some snatches with Cinco in evening.  Understand trainers'  frustrations; walk don't run.
Friday, better.  Staying above the fray, telling people what they need to hear, not what they want; it would be far easier and more lucrative to do otherwise.  Will not do what eight out of ten would do; either morally intact or incredibly stupid and time will not tell because its done.  But sleeping well and would not be otherwise.
Two miles and training session with Tiffany C, who insisted upon providing a freebie out of some guilt over missing an inconsequential seminar last September.  Had written off most of the E. trainers on Kbells.  Mistake.  She has been there a long time and knows her stuff and was sore this am like I have not been sore for a long time.
Today, 2.5 hour Burdell walk.  Sunshine and showers.  To Hidden Lake, frogs loud to the left, hawk screams to the right.  Camera battery dead.  Rose joyful.  Beautiful day.
Same season, same kind of day, last year, Coopers' and Redtail battle.  Caught four good shots, above the best.  Nothing like being outside, whether on the edge of the cliff or not.
