Hello! welcome to another fascinating work week where we all try to figure out why we do whatever it is we are doing. Perhaps this will be the week we figure it out. Nah.
"Sure he can climb, but you should hook into the wall."
My Aunt Sue, Reagan and I went rock climbing on a wall in Vermont yesterday. Injury report: no one got hurt, today most muscles in my upper body hurt, but only when I move. Typing is downright painful... Reagan did amazing, Sue, my elder, did amazing, and I just tried to keep up with them.
Appartently, you should pick a climbing partner that is about the same weight as you. Since my Aunt weighs about 130 soaking wet, they had her tethered to a bolt in the wall. Yes, you read that correctly, I used the
infrastructure of the building to keep me from plummeting to earth when my grip gave out. Nothing like that to get you set straight on a diet.
We had a fantastic time. Climbing a wall that angles out is almost impossible. I think we'll keep trying this, it was a blast.
My Grandfather turned 86 on Sunday. We had a nice party for him and he looked very good. I hope I am half as healthy as he is... It is always great to spend time in VT with all of them.
Apparently, Dr. Suess is from Springfield, MA so we stopped en route to VT at a memorial park. It was nice. The kids enjoyed seeing the statues from the books they know by heart.
