A walk in the afternoon

This is a long weekend thanks to Martin Luther King. Relatively late in the afternoon Jay and I decided to take a walk and since it was getting dark soon, we parked our car at Exit 2 on the Palisades Parkway. Everything was beautiful and shiny and clear and cold! We walked for about an hour alongside the Hudson which was partially frozen; the many tankers and barges who did not make it into New York before the weekend anchored in the middle of the Hudson. So we went, up and down, up and down along the Palisades. Nobody else was there, it was so quiet and lonesome and refreshing. Jay was cold (and he claimed that his fingers would fall off sooner or later) but I was just happy to march along. I am home now and think I should cook a meal.
