the power of positive procrastination

I spent about two hours tonight putting together a route for Essex Ramble. It's about 5 miles too long, but I think I'll be able to trim some off once I've confirmed the lunch location. I also spent three hours on fieldwork since I last wrote in this journal; maybe by the time I'm done I'll have some idea how long these things really take to put on.

Have I mentioned how good a fit the Monte Carlo format is for Essex Ramble? It really should have been one all along.
