    '''Neurasthenia''' (also known as Neuralgia) was a term first coined by Beard in 1869 to describe a condition with symptoms of fatigue, anxiety and pessimism. It was explained as being a result of exhaustion of the central nervous system's energy reserves which Beard attributed to civilisation. In the late 1800s it became a popular diagnosis and led to rest cures. Physicians at the time frequently associated Neurasthenia with the stresses of urbanization and the pressures placed on the intellectual class by the increasingly competitive business environment. Typically, it was associated with upper class individuals in sedentary employment. It was a common diagnosis in World War I - every one of the c.1700 officers processed through the Craiglockhart War Hospital was diagnosed with neurasthenia, for example - but its use declined a decade later. The symptoms are similar to what is now termed fibromyalgia."

     

    Actually, I have been feeling a little bit... hmmm.

    3 blocks off 405 on 8th Ave. N.E.

     

    There is no physical way that 8th Ave NE is in Bellevue. Now NE 8th St. is one of the main drags in Bellevue.

    You call yourself climbers but you don't want to do any routefinding. Sheesh! I was just giving y'all a challenge. rolleyes.gif And that's the thanks I get. frown.gif

    We'll take all'a youse.

     

    So, choices.

     

    The Workshop is kitschy, a fun place, but more of a drive inland from 405--not bad if you follow 520 down into Redmond; a couple of blocks off 520, across from Redmond Town Centre. I think it has darts? And smoking.

     

    The Pumphouse is easier to get to--3 blocks off 405 on 8th Ave. N.E. It's no smoking, darts, I think. "Cozy." smile.gif Shouldn't be too crowded on a Tuesday, though.

     

    There are others in the Bellevue area, but I've never been to them (except for the 8th Street Bar and Grill, which was so-so--not much atmosphere).

     

    So...whaddya think? I'm thinking the Pumphouse, b/c Seattle folks will be coming over. We want to get 'em right in and drinkin'. bigdrink.gif

    I've found that Gore-tex overmitts work well at keeping the wet stuff out (I've used them for winter scrambling and climbing--not skiing).

     

    Another option is neoprene gloves. I picked up a pair at Mountain Equipment Coop in Vancouver several years ago. They're like a wet suit for your hands--your hands get wet, but they stay fairly warm. Might be worth a try.
