Spent a quiet day at the Norris Dam State Park, catching up on domestic tasks. Took a couple of short hikes. Beautiful fall day.

Leaving Home
Leaving home is a kind of forgiveness, and when you get among strangers, you’re amazed at how decent they seem. Nobody smirks at you or gossips about you, nobody resents your successes or relishes your defeats. You get to start over, a sort of redemption.
