Big curlers rock!

Thanks, G. I was afraid of that being the answer. So much for wishful thinking. I hate leaving my shoes at home.

Going up this weekend for our annual family vacation and got to wondering if there's any local stuff to clamber on. I was thinking that there could be some bouldering possibilities on Tonquin beach? Anyone found some fun problems there, or are the FA's all mine? Thanks, Sherri

At least you didn't call them nappy headed.

Good luck on your plans, Julia, sounds like a great adventure in the making! I can answer one of your questions: the Brennan Recreation facility(public pool/skating rink) charges a buck for a shower(ok, the website actually says "$1.14"). It's adjacent to the campground, too, if I remember correctly. link: recreation centre webpage Have fun! Maybe see you there this summer...(on the rocks, not in the shower ) Sherri

See the "Cranio-sacral therapy" thread...

Maybe Sunday....tomorrow's weather still looked a bit iffy for me.

Rockin' on the Rock, baby!

But I didn't touch any worms.

Hold your Hail Mary's. Now mine's broke. Apparently Jesus is playing favorites.

They have "lap swim" a couple times a day, 5 lanes. But the floaties are still there(I'm not referring to the people). Is lap swimming anything like lap dancing? 8D Only if you're slow enough to get run over by the other peeps in the lane. I'm reeeaaaaal slow.

Knottygirl, is metal your art medium? Give us a look at this art, will ya?

Impressive! Sounds like you got off to a good start. I was building treeforts and garages for my matchbox cars when I was seven years old. Guess that explains a lot of things.

Hats off to you. Anytime I see a strong swimmer go by, I'm in awe. Some people can make it look so natural and graceful. I bet you do kickturns, too? Someday....*sigh*

What, there's a ZONE in swimming?! Ver duz vone vind dis zone? Yes, our community is fortunate to have a decent aquatic facility(Sequim's a retirement mecca, so that probably helps support it. LOTS of sr. folks in there doing physical therapy, etc.) Hard to find the "zone" when you're dodging floaties though.

Trailrunning(my first love) Biking(zoom zoom!) Swimming (to recover from biking and running ) Yoga (see above) Weightlifting (because I'm an overachiever) Tai Chi and Qi Gong(gettin' my zen groove on) Anything creative(painting, cooking, woodworking, designing, writing, playing classical guitar...) I love creating beauty, whether it's through physical movement(sports, etc), visual awareness(art and nature) or internal training(energy and thoughts). Climbing is perfect because it incorporates each of these elements in some way. And it's fun. (Hey Arch, that's cool about your doing triathalons! Maybe I'll do one with you someday. Still got a lot of work to do on my swimming, though...it's hard. )

"necking" .... Thanks! I love a good pun in the mornin'.

Tons. I have a room in my house I call the gear room. That's what lives in there. When you are ready to buy some more gear, PM me first--I got lots o stuff I can part with for a good deal. Or for trade. I need a mountain bike, scarpa tele boots, a drysuit or wetsuit, all sorts of stuff. I got needs. Could have used that drysuit at Smith last weekend.

So, are the "flehmers" the straight ones? I'm so confused.

You said it.

I don't care if they're gay or straight, but I could have gone without learning this : "Male giraffes determine female fertility by tasting the female's urine in order to detect estrus, in a multi-step process known as the flehmen response." Ewwwwwwwwww. Giraffes are gross.

...And a bigger closet.

Selkirk's right. Better have a back-up plan for the kid's college fund.

... my dad could not figure out for the life of him why my gear needs to live INSIDE the house... it's cus it's my favorite thing Exactly!! That does it...the rope bag's comin' in, too!
