The other puzzling thing is that I have been feeling thinner lately, pants fitting a little different, but the scale doesn't reflect it . . . oh well, one of those unsolved mysteries. All of my adult life I have weighed 158 - 160. I have been down to 153 for the last six months. I thought maybe I was dying or something. Doc thinks proly not. I'm thinking thats a bet he can't win. awl teh klimbink your dueing.
This was my first suspicion but I haven't climbed in 6 weeks and not a single lb has returned. I am getting weak and soft though. Blah.

We spent our first night in the rental home on Thursday, but I managed to sneak out for about five hours to the local crag, which is now only a 10 minute drive away. We added a finish to one of our previous FAs to link it to the top of the cliff, then semi-cleaned a new line (right of our classic "A Toltec Dream") that is far from classic but worth doing, leading it at 5.7+ and naming it "An Aztec Nightmare." Spent the weekend unpacking, arranging furniture, and settling in. Had to run to my parents on Sunday to watch the Patriots game, as we don't get cable hooked up until later today. In the meantime we have been watching "Downton Abbey" on DVD, which I am pleasantly surprised to find very good. Downton is quite good. Seen seasons 1 & 2 and rather enjoyed both. Good job getting a bit-o-climbing in too. At least someone is getting out. DOWNTON ABBEY! Something to live for, indeed . . . my roommate and I did a marathon of seasons 1 and 2 a couple months ago (she'd never seen them, though I had), and now we are illegally streaming season 3 from sketchy sites on Monday evenings. Can't wait. :) I'm kind of annoyed. I missed the season premier of Walking Dead the other night and since AMC stays a full week behind with whats available OnDemand and I refuse to pirate, I'm behind for the rest of the season.  I ran a marathon, took a flight, and still managed to see it with food and friends and everything 
So much hate for you right now

Being done with vacation after vacation sucks balls.
On the drive home from the airport tonite, my friend started giving me shit because I was checking airfares the moment we crossed the border.

W. H. Auden
About suffering they were never wrong,
The old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position: how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.
*Notice Icarus splashing down in the lower right.*

Back.
Sore all over.
The Narrows top-down in Fall. It's in my top ten. Possibly in my top 5. I'm still sorting out other hikes in my mind to figure this one out.
Did some climbing on Friday, too. Overall, I'm worked.

We hiked about 1/2 mile up the narrows from the end of the river trail this summer. Very cool. Someday must due the top down. When the boys get a little older.
Congrats.

eh, ok. I guess we can let you in. You can sit on the stool in corner until the frenchies show up. they get that stool because they helped us, but they have to sit there because they weren't that good at it.
