It was only a matter of time. I started ahead, but they accumulate more daily miles together than I do singly, most days.

And my step-stepping is moving me along St Francis Way…

The trek restarts in the morning mostly with just trying to navigate the mess of traffic around NYC. Considering that not everyone has returned to work, this seems unfathomable.
