Over Mothers’ Day weekend, I drove to New Jersey. Took my kiddo out to dinner on Friday night. Saturday’s rehearsal with Katye Kellye and The Interruption was scheduled for late afternoon. For a change, I had a chance to get a run in before driving down the shore to rehearse.
When I lived in NJ, Lake Denmark Road was my regular roller skiing haunt. Five miles of rolling pavement, it wends through country that’s the antithesis of the tired “Jersey? What exit?” trope. It’s adjacent to Picatinny Arsenal, and on the right day, one’s workout is leavened with explosions as they test ordnance.
