Adirondacks Trip - Day 5

Finally, I got the best sleep of the week!  I woke up at 0615 and teleworked all morning, taking a short break at 0745 to eat breakfast in the hotel lobby. Eileen called at one point and asked if I could meet her for lunch in Canton in the afternoon.  I agreed but also asked if I could walk Mika again (she agreed).  There were no work meetings planned all day so it was kind of slow.  At 1130, I departed the hotel and drove to Eileen's to pick up Mika (Heidi and I coordinated in advance).  I then drove her to the opposite side of the Raquette River, parking at the Bayside Cemetery. From there, we walked a loop around the near the river.  It was VERY windy and cold!  We found the Munter Trail again and used it to reach US-11.  Backtracked to the car (still cold and windy) and ended up logging just over two miles of walking.  Next, I drove Mika back to Eileen's (1245).  By this point, Eileen had contacted me to request that we not do lunch and instead meet for coffee later in the afternoon.  As a result, I returned to my hotel for some lunch (leftovers).  Mollie called and we talked a little while.  At around 1315, I left the hotel and drove to Canton.  I arrived at the Brewer Bookstore (on the St. Lawrence University Campus) at 1330 and spent the next hour visiting with Eileen near their fireplace.  Finished up at 1430 and, after walking with her to her office, returned to my hotel and resumed teleworking.  At 1700, I finished my work day and drove to the parking lot for the Cactus Grill.  It was still quite cold but I was able to get in the rest of my walking (10K steps) nearby.  By 1800, I was seated at the bar and ordered dinner (a combo platter of enchiladas and a margarita).  The atmosphere was good and the food was too.  After getting finished (1845), I drove back to the hotel and called Erin - this time, we were able to talk for about 45 minutes.  For the rest of the evening, I watched movies and read.  Feeling quite bored (and a bit deflated after trying to coordinate with Eileen all week), I went to sleep rather early (2130).  It looks like leaving tomorrow will be a good idea - we'll see how things play out for work and the cost of extending my stay for Eileen's "maybe" suggestions...
