We’re back in Eugene. We loved Ireland.

Prefontaine Classic results.

Jen Miller/NYT: Explaining Your Running Habit on Vacation. And more.

Video: Best hikes in the world. Angels Landing is the only one we’ve done on that list. Yes, it’s beautiful and especially memorable as we did it on our honeymoon. Best hikes are done with people you love. So try to hike with your honey every day.

Books read during the Ireland trip:

How The Irish Saved Civilization

The Maine Woods

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The Madonnas of Leningrad. …Terrific. Perhaps our next trip will be to the Hermitage in St. Petersberg. …Book recommended by the sole survivor and art history major, Bryn Mawr class of 1934, soon to be 106.

Book of Evidence. …By Irish author who won Booker Prize (best fiction in English each year).

Churchill And Me

Great Expectations. …You can get great deals for your Kindle with authors whose copyrights have expired. Variously, I have all most all the works of Thoreau, Dickens, Hugo, others for 99 cents or free.

A mystery by Robert B. Parker. Fun, but tossed and I don’t remember it at all.
