( Oh man, I'm writing this 4.5 years later in late December of 2021 in the midst of the Omicron wave of covid and seeing all these people I love in one place makes me long for this to all be over and to be in a room with so many people I love again.)

Thanks for picking out such a good place to hike, Cat! I had so much fun hiking, Cat! Let's go again sooooooon. Crouching down to capture... There are several trail loops you can do. Woods buddy. Hung out for a while enjoying nature and making sure we got enough hot pics to get our 'Gram on later. So much fun hiking with this one. As we were hiking, we started wondering what animals we might run into. "We might even see a bear." "Really? Fuck! Wait are you sure? Do you still have a cell signal? Maybe we use our phone to look up whether there are bears here. What mountain are we on again?" "Bear Mountain?" "Bear Mountain! OH FUCK!" We set up the self-timer for this one and had to run all the way to the tunnel and then turn around and try to act all casual. Haha. We managed to park and find the trailhead just after 11am. My knees were creaky after the drive so I ate a few bananas. Mmmm, bananas. ...and went downstairs to meet Cat and we... ...and Cat. We made plans to go hiking the next day!

We talked about LIFE STUFF and philosophy and Catrinel was award quote of the month for the following: "Oh, I see now. It was your plan all along to lure me over to to your apartment just so you could tell me that I don't exist!" Hahahah. Birthday friends who came out late on a Wednesday on short notice! ;) ...Catrinel's birthday! Happy birthday, Cat! ...doesn't mean you can't have a dance party. Just because there's no music...
