back from climbing in El Chorro. Due to weather and time constraints, only got a couple of days in. place is fucking sweet. seriously - when I buy a place there, you're all invited - and it's an invite you need to accept. climbed damn well for 6 months off. really happy with with how it went. now busy getting caught up with art stuff I couldn't touch while I was out. will organize photos the next few days (I hope). went to malaga after el chorro with the lady for a few days. nice town on the Mediterranean. saw a lot, including being 50 feet from seeing a 6yo get killed by a float in a parade. really fucking sad. didn't actually see it, but saw all the police, the ambulances, and grieving doctor father with blood all over his hands and face from trying to save his kid's life. fuck - a real bummer end to that trip. they celebrate king's day here (jan 6), which is like christmas day for us. imagine being a forensic doctor watching your kid get run over by a float on christmas day. i hugged the lady a lot the rest of the trip. fuck - still sad. back in sevilla. off to barca in a few days. tired from walking about 15-25 km per day every day since I landed in lisboa for a few hours. will walk even more once there. tomorrow is a holiday and rest day. hope you all had a great new year.

Plus, part of the NH crew that I've been hanging with have already been out there for 3 weeks new routing, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lined up a few virgins for us to FA. Sylvia, don't you live in the Mile High city now? You around in the next couple weeks? Meg has a membership at Rockin & Jammin, so we will probably hit that up as well. Maybe you could join us; ham sammies not necessary. Dangit, I missed this due to not being on here for the holidays, due to being in Texas.

My partners were on a tear and pretty much crushed everything in sight. She snagged her first V4 and he ticked off multiple V7's and an impressive flash of a .12a gear line. Weather was pretty cherry. Cold at night but plenty warm by midmorning. Good trip. Sounds so great! How is the elbow, btw?

Oh Sweet Jesus! I haven't had a bruise that big since I fell out of a tree as a wee lad. My siblings showed me that Sweet Brown video over Christmas and I swear it was a recurring theme throughout the holidays . . .

I knew there was someone. yeah, your time off seemed pretty sweet, too. today we're meeting the lady's spanish advisor for what we think is lunch and then again tonight for a sort of networking session for her and his other advisees. it's a big holiday here (something akin to a king's day for the three kings), so everything is closed. not sure where we're going for lunch or the networking thing. either way, it's a rest day for me.

Noa me back iz killing me. Also, stayed out in shirt sleeves too late. Got cold, very very cold. I felt like aye wuz coming down with a fever awl evening. A good nights rest in a warm bed took care of that. now if the back would stop hurting...
