Eve Mendelsohn, John Buddington, and Ed Loewenton (Trip
leader), started the climb at 10 AM, on the strength of Ed's
promise that it would be sunny by mid afternoon. It was foggy and
humid but not raining. We kept an easy pace, and reached the
summit about 12:30. It was chilly, very windy, and too foggy to
see anything. We had lunch at Taft Lodge, along with a large crowd
of hikers, and left to make room for the second seating. On the
way down, it really did start to rain, but it was warm and not
unpleasant. We all thought it was a beautiful day, and sorted out
some important issues, including Monica and Bill, Public Schools,
acquisition of language skills, and the Mind-Body problem, along
the way. Ya shoulda been there!
