Was up very early and did some teleworking before the sun rose. I then drove over to West Lebanon to do some grocery shopping in West Lebanon; after that, I headed to Eastman for some outdoor fun. I had to finish a short work call at 0830 but then hiked (from the Bogey Road trailhead) for about 30 minutes on the Heath Forest Trails, looking for the fifth card punch for the Snowshoe Challenge (I found it). I then drove over to the Center to do some cross country skiing (0915 to 1015). The trails were pretty icy but I still got a good hour of exercise on the Lazy Loop. Before leaving Grantham, I dropped of my completed Snowshoe Challenge card and learned that I was the first person to complete the card this season! Headed home to resume my work day. At 1630, I drove over to Canaan to have dinner with Michael and Camille, friends from Sacred Heart who'd invited me to visit their home. It was a larger dinner party: Camille's brother, Jerry, and Father Charles brought his brother, Michael, and Michael's girlfriend, Pam. Stayed from 1700 to 2145. I drove home via La Salette in Enfield, hoping to catch the lights, but they were closed. It started to snow as I was traveling on NH-4A to US-4 - glad I made it home before the roads got too bad... What a great day!
