The Good Idea Fairy struck a few times this morning, and our runs took a few turns off the beaten (paved) path and into the darkness. We found ourselves navigating standing water, unkempt fields, horse fences and dog parks. It was in the dog park we learned of the passing of the Dog Poop Fairy; may she rest in peace. A lot of new ground was covered and some good conversation about the growth of The Paddock was had.

As we talked after the closing prayer, YHC leaned back, glanced up at the stars and noticed an unusual light drifting across the sky. Turns out it was the ISS making a pass overhead. According to https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/view.cfm?country=United_States&region=Kentucky&city=Lexington#.XHa2pMBKhhE, the ISS would be overhead and visible for 4 min at 6:31 am. Pretty cool we happened to see it.
