I woke up late (0700) because of the late night. As a result, I didn't get as much teleworking done before John and I were planning to go for a walk (1030). I ate a light breakfast and then we drove to the Blue Hills Reservation, where we parked at the trailhead. We started on the trails near Houghton’s Pond but then crossed I-93 (on foot) and did a full circuit of Ponkapoag Pond. Awesome weather! John told me he had never visited the two ponds we explored, although I had (see NOV 2021). He pointed me towards other trails that would be fun to do, including the one (up to the viewpoint on top of the Blue Hills) we once hiked with Johnny (see JUL 2015). After we were done walking, we drove over to the Braintree Mall and found a Buffalo Wild-Wings so we could eat a late lunch. We arrived at around 1400 and stayed until 1530 - it was good food, beer and conversation! We then drove back to Katie's house and I did some more teleworking. Carolyn stopped by but I had to keep working and only talked to her for a short time. I also skipped dinner (because I was still full from lunch). I finally finished my work day at around 2000 and came back out to talk to John and Katie. Unfortunately, I discovered that they were sick and not really in the mood to do much. We ended up watching "The Martian" and talked for a little while. Before I realized it, the clock said that it was 2330 (yikes, I've been staying up late!) - I finally went to bed close to midnight. Nice day outside!
