Hey doc, did I hear that you are officially upgraded to BF status with the new lady?
Don't let it cut into your climbing time!

Is that what happens? I've always wanted to do research on the cammeltoe effect!

Lam must not be aware of this alter ego. I've never met her, and have only seen a pic or two, but I get the feeling she'd slap the bejezus out of you. 
She considers my appetite a sign of a "healthy" guy
It isn't like you go blind once you get married.
Of course, I am not so stupid as to point out hot wominz to her.

Solution. Bring sixer of cans into local gym. Make new friends. Go get more brrrrrz with new friends.

Did you know you can turn a gear loop into a beer cozy? You just have to stitch a chalk bag to it and voilla.... gotta make sure it's on the opposite side to your brake hand.
