My two best friends at work are dating now, and both of them tell me everything, so things are getting a little weird when they're at each other's throats. I never thought I'd beg for puppy love, but here we are.

Mohonk Mountain
Nice 8 mile scramble through the trails around the Mohonk Mountain Preserve trails this morning - lots of cliff climbers out there today.
Plenty of color still in the Hudson Valley, but enough of the leaves are down so you can see the geological structures of this area. - awesome. Some spa-time at Mohonk, and Osso-bucco/Nebbiolo for dinner - not bad.
Just finished (from the Mohonk library) the book The Long Run by Matt Long - incredible account on how a NYC fireman/Ironman got nailed by a bus, destroying most of his interior - and after being stitched back together, had the verve to run the NYC Marathon, as well as finishing IronMan at Lake Placid. Wow.
