Raining on someone's parade

I had planned to go for a quick bike ride this morning, but that doesn't look like a lot of fun at the moment:

But yesterday Anne and I went for a hike through the Ryerson Conservation Area in Riverwoods, Ill., which was a lot of fun:

I am especially glad that I could single-handedly feed thousands of starving mosquitos.

Anyway, we chose Ryerson after reading Ted Villaire's 60 Hikes within 60 Miles, which Anne picked up earlier in the week. We recommend the book to anyone who (a) lives in or near Chicago and (b) likes hiking.

The book lists the hikes in alphabetical order, so Ryerson is #50. While hiking, we resolved to do the other 59 hikes (even the few we've already done) in two years. That should be fun.

But not, I think, today, as it will probably rain throughout the morning.
