Miswording from mickey

The term above in Bonnie's caption (quoting me) that the march Chris was leading was a "meaningless exertion" was a mistake on my part. We had both recently read Styron's The Long March, and the gist of it for me was that the person who had commanded a 36-mile hike at a time when there was no war, was simply being cruel to his men, and hence the exertion was "meaningless". 

Chris's 9-mile hike was in no sense meaningless, and he told me he was glad to do it, and especially proud to be leading it. Mea culpa mea culpa

love,
