Gamut Universe

The skinny on "gamut" starts with a musical scale developed by 11th-century musician and monk Guido of Arezzo. The first line of his bass staff was "gamma," and the first note in his scale "ut." "Gamma ut", therefore, was the term for the tonic note written on the first staff line. In time, "gamma ut" was shortened to "gamut," and the meaning expanded to cover Guido's entire scale, then all the notes in an instrument’s range, and, eventually, an entire range of any sort.

Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum

Spring Grove cemetery is located in Cincinnati. It is also an arboretum, and a quiet place in the middle of a somewhat noisy city. No noise like New York though! This is the pond where the ducks frolicked and the swan glided. There are miles of walking trails for the physically active. The 3.5 mile loop is unmarked as far as I can figure out. Maybe you follow the light green line in the center of the road from the starting point on the map. Have to check this out.
