nov 8-11 hope I have that weekend free!

spending time at Smith with cynical friends...ah yes

did dwayner grab your login info? btw dwayner, .13a, hop on it!

I like Smith for the total relaxation. The white noise of the river and the colors of the rock, with the cascades on the horizon keep me coming back. It just releases a lot of stress if I am under pressure at work, or whatever small problems I have in life. Spending days lounging in the sun or working hard on a climb, with good friends.

wow that school has one hell of a playground apparently

It is an egocentric visceral response to reaffirm with one's self that climbing is still a safe activity.

oh and here's a sweet photo on rockclimbing.com recently

I'm no pro, but if stuff starts seeming impossible, try turning a hip in and dropping a knee.

I'm sure he'll be roundly whipped, no worries. Tie him to the rock climbing thing back in Ashford and administer 10 lashes!

I wonder who the renegade highballer on the left is up to...living la vida loca for sure

that's totally insane! hope no one ever has to go to the bathroom. would be as complicated as a space shuttle launch.

The Cure rocks.

what, whiteout climbing on snow dust bridges doesn't appeal to you? where's the spirit?

oh shit I've landed on Burnside Ave again with 3 shacks built-up! time to drop trou' again

with a hint of "fat guy fuchsia"

eh? how does one come across the word "nadir" in a game of monopoly? Unless, of course, you land on a hotel or two then said adjective might apply to your bank account...that is unless your opponent has been drinking heavily and she offers up some cash for a little prostitution in said hotel.

apparently no one else has any favorite colors. Bet Limbaugh liked "flesh" though. I think it's "salmon" now.

only the cool crowd is allowed in the Crayola thread. Besides, cbs spent his youth hanging out in the lapidary polishing geodes rather than socializing with the crayola jetset.

Looks like SOMEONE had an action-packed game of Boggle last night!

white trash

they were subliminally shaped like MX missiles to get the youth used to seeing reagan's silos littering the countryside.

It was a crafty team-up with the hoover vacuum company. They made a killing off that shady deal.
