[whine] TAKE! [/whine]

I'll send out the memo warning the comrades.

Things to do today: 1. Find cool & hot chick 2. Make her dig me 3. Piss her off 4. Hate myself Good plan; I'm on it.

With gentle guidance, anyone can be coached.

Tonight, the Chupacabra.

Erics- you both made me laugh.

Yeah- this river is mostly snowmelt, so run it early in the season. Otherwise it sounds like a long damp walk.

You're our North Star. We all follow your cue, and when you're out of sight, we're lost.

JTree & Sierras.

Ok, Oly, we're going to go on a climbing trip together to a new destination. Teach me how to climb trad.

Im taking this to cafe sensitivoso and asking for a hug.

I'm absolutely uninspired for climbing. This is the first spring since I started climbing that I don't have a 12page ticklist to guide me through the warm sunny months. I want to like climbing, but right now it has the same appeal as mowing the lawn- just another grind, just another chore. I know I'm not the first to feel this way, so how do you crusty old farts keep the romance alive?

Luke- Thanks for posting on your blog and here.

My recent discovery of masturbation has really put a dent into my climbing time.

Oh! look who's back!

How we defined success in both WWI & WWII was our (the US) adherence to a higher moral code than the cynical realpolitik of the continental powers. This was expressed with Wilson's proposal of the League of Nations, and the Geneva convention. Even in our worst lapses of WWII (the Japanese internment camps), we never allowed ourselves to sink to the levels that we sank to in Iraq. The abandonment of human rights principles- in Abu Ghraib, in Guantanamo, in the legal counsel Bush sought to allow torture- has been by far the most significant casualty of this war, and on those grounds alone I consider this war a failure. If the US doesn't stand for the basic human rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, then it doesn't stand for much at all.

Ok- agreed on that minor point- but how can you compare the defense of Europe from the Third Reich to our misinformed and 'pre-emptive' invasion of Iraq? *you cocksucking windowlicker*

I want to hear more about the steep stuff around McCall. I've heard rumours- tell all.

Pubclub this week has been moved to 4/20

you monotone lunatic, how can you possibly compare the current fiasco in Iraq to WWI or WWII?

yumm. how would that go with a nice muskatel and a side order of placenta?

Sparkeling muscatel - one of the finest wines of Idaho!

probably May. Can you paddle?

How's it going there, Mr. SpecialForces-turned-EverettFireDepartment-turned-'guide'? I missed having you to kick around.
