Cherry Tree

April 22, 1996 – Three years later, in that same month, we were divorced. The cherry tree was the only one to survive undamaged.

***UPDATE***

As of September 2013, the tree still stood in the backyard of this house.

Fall Running at Mahlon Dickerson Reservation – Part 5 of 5 [PHOTOS]

Just a few more photos.

This time my son, Tim, joined me on the six mile loop through the woods. He could have run circles around me, an overweight guy with a gimpy ankle and 24 more years of age. But he was polite enough to not do so.

A section of the trail was lined with these pretty pink leaves that were enjoyable to run through.

I do not recommend eating a lot of Sicilian pizza for lunch before running.

I DO recommend running if you have the kind of physique that shows you like eating a lot of Sicilian pizza… like I have.

Don’t leave your garbage in the woods. It really doesn’t fit with the scenery. I carried this two miles out to a garbage can.

I not sure if it’s me that smells so bad… or something else around here.
