pyat

Today was a busy day, but also one suffused in cool golden sunlight, with friends, family and good, and a lot of brisk walking. This past week has been terribly productive, yet also filled with naps and warm baths and three excellent gaming sessions run for three different groups of friends.

I remain conviced that walking away from my job was the smartest thing I've done this year.

In the morning I took Claire to her gymanstics class and walked back from Ottawa street. We saw a traffic accident and a street market!

This afternoon I took Elizabeth to the birthday party of

doc_mystery and

mrs_dm's daughter. I hung around with them for a bit, then struck off on a random ramble through the Dundas Valley. Dundas is insulated from Hamilton by geography, and Willet Hill in Dundas is one step further removed. You access it by walking up a steep, curved road.

I admired the fall colour and explored the old cemetary, and the view eastward to Hamilton.

After this was Thanksgiving Dinner at my mother-in-law's, always a warm and pleasant event, with lots of good company and delicious food. I even wrestled with my 3 year old nephew! It is odd to think that I even have a nephew, and will, in a few years, be recognized as the weird old Uncle Pyat.
