Lately I have been naming my pathways. I have dubbed yesterday's route, the Right Triangle Trail, in honor of the geometry that I have recently been diving into while helping (and attempting to help) my daughter with her homework. About 40 years ago I was a geometry 'genius.' Forty years can make anyone rusty. I have found it challenging to try to assist my daughter in a subject matter that I was highly proficient in about a half century ago. Nevertheless, the definition of a right triangle is fairly straightforward. It is a triangle that has one right angle (90° angle, two perpendicular sides) and this was the basic shape of my hike on Saturday morning. The 'hypotenuse' of this 'triangle' was spent mostly traveling the paved trails through multiple adjacent forest preserves in the suburbs. My responsibility yesterday was to pick up my daughter and her friend from cheerleading practice at 11:30AM. They had been dropped off by the parent of the other child at 10:00AM. I basically drove to the area where they were to be picked up at 8:30AM, so that I could take a long 2.5 hour hike. By the time I had finished, I had logged twelve miles.

| The section of the trail that led to this area indicated that the trail was closed. Naturally I needed to check out why. In the background is the remnants of a bridge that used to cross the river. The bridge is no longer there. Now I know why this part of the trail is closed. |

| Once I emerged from the forest preserves, I hiked along Touhy Avenue and passed the iconic YMCA known for its 'Leaning Tower of Pisa' There was scaffolding at the bottom. What are they trying to do, straighten out the building? |
