I'm no looker, I realize, so whatever's on display below is Klingon-ugly—more of a Worf-face than a war face. Behold:
In preparation for Monday's walk, then, the hair has been cut. The toenails are also cut (with, as usual, and frustratingly, one bleeder). The fingernails were cut recently; I can survive the walk without trimming them too soon (or I can trim them en chemin if they get too long by Day 4). I do need to whittle down the beard a bit, but five days' extra growth won't matter much, so shaving isn't a top priority.
Left to do today: finish up a batch of chapters for the movie-review book (almost done with that); do some heavy-club, kettlebell, and dumbbell work; start finalizing my trip's equipment list and begin packing. Tomorrow, once packed, I'll do a practice walk with my backpack on plus 1.5 liters of water on my person. Ideally, the upcoming walk ought to be fairly austere, but I know myself well enough to know I frequently misbehave, food-wise, while on the trail. Since my French "brother's" son's wedding is in July, I want to see whether I can get into fighting shape for that event, then keep the weight off once I'm back in Korea.
Let's find out what's possible together.
