As usual, I felt a pang as the Cascades rolled away behind my plane. Every time I do this, I promise myself that I'll get out hiking when I return. I haven't been to the Mt. Rainier park in a really long time now.

Getting dressed this morning, I discovered that I'd forgotten to pack dress socks. I'm faking it with the darkest running socks I have, slinging my slacks a little lower and taking advantage of my desk's "modesty panel" (one of the more risible euphemisms). Looks like a shopping trip this evening.
