I gave my mother two dozen homemade hi-fiber muffins. Easy come, easy go!

The info on this site might help. http://www.tpmassageball.com/footinjuries.php?sym=8 Makes a good case for treating the source of foot trouble--by relieving trigger points in the calves, which work so hard when we climb or run--so that the feeties stay happy. Even if you don't want to buy the aids they sell for this, you can get pretty comparable results by using your thumb, a hobnobber or a tennis ball on the soleus. It hurts so good. Good luck!

Yeah, I know. But I'm stickin' with my spork.

I got a REVERSO! And a spork.

Nice job on the porn! (Don't tell my mom I looked, though! She still thinks I'm a good girl. ) Welcome aboard!

Carolyn, yes you can rent it, but I come with it. It's extra for that. Now that's money well spent! Awesome workmanship, Erik! I was looking for a teardop trailer for my little rig...never thought of converting the rig itself. Way to work it!

Keep in mind that the pain showing up in the fingers could be orginating from a problem elsewhere in the arm, or even from the shoulder. You may find some helpful info here http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3841/is_200207/ai_n9134304 or try Googling "Trigger Point Therapy". Personally, I've found the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook to be an invaluable training tool (for treating owies from all my "bad habits"--running, biking, climbing, etc.) and would recommend it to any athlete, of any age. Good luck!

I'm jealous.

Me, too!

Way to call it, Toast! I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't know what an acolyte was. Dictionary wasn't much help("a liturgical assistant"?? ), so I assumed it implied partner of some kind? Sheesh. Now I feel all obtuse.

those are called women fixed it Well done!

Yep.

Thanks for the helpful info, Jens! Good to know!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Jennifer. Sorry to hear about the accident. That's a painful souvenir for 5 feet of air-time! I was at Smith over the weekend, too, but seemed to be spared all the trauma drama that CBS witnessed. Admittedly, I did drop a quickdraw from the second pitch of Cinnamon Slab that day--thankfully it hit dirt instead of somebody's noggin. I didn't drop any girls, though.

Great pics! Happy Birthday, too!

Sorry we missed it, Mos! Was getting a bit late for us respectable-type ladies to be out unescorted and all. Can we catch it on re-runs sometime?

Mos Chillin reveals stunning archeological evidence, proving the existence of the mythical "Bolt Fairy." I knew they were real! I believe, I BELIEVE!!

It was great to stop by and meet a few of the folks behind the avatars. Especially fun to see Wayne and his climbing prodigy daughter again and to meet some free-range cc.comers at Roto Wall. Thanks for the good company and laughs! (sorry about the dog kisses Mary Lou! )

The revised TSA list of items allowed in carry-on baggage. Please continue to pack your mascara and salad dressing in checked luggage until further notice.

Who says I don't like booty. Just trying to pay it forward.

PM me if you think it's yours. If not, it's just the size I needed.

Thanks, Drederek! That's how it looked to me, but the guidebook description of an "easy" walk off made me doubt my eyeballs. The bushwack down that side of the formation ISO said "easy walk off" was no picnic, so at least I'll know to go up and over to the other side next time. Appreciate the beta! Happy climbing!

Wish I could go, but I can't. I want to play some more!

Thanks, E! You were a tough act to follow. As for looking forward to next time.....Mee Too!!! (except without the triage......)
