"Because it's there."

[Collette]

Actually, my move here has produced great things so far. The heat and dryness put it into remission I'm thinking. I feel twenty years younger (man that dates me.) and If I weren't already married I'd be moving on 'that perfect woman' above. *whew*

See now, if you'd just moved over to Utah instead, we'd have been okay.


I was out in your area in Feb. for training and hiked around in Red Rocks...beautiful.

A friend. She starts grad school at UW in September. Friends of her family have a house in Seattle, but are teaching in China until April. That should give me a good eight months to see how things go there. I would always have the option to leave, not being locked into a lease or anything...

I'll apply at Stumptown when I breeze through PDX on my way north and see what happens. I think PDX would be more my vibe, but is also very seductive to not have to pay rent and all...

So you hang in Seattle for a couple months and then move down here, of course.

You think? I'd really love to try and get in at Stumptown. They're known throughout the country, they're organic and fair trade...

So, we'll see. I'd have to do the whole apartment search thing from Seattle, but I think it'd be easier to day trip or overnight down from there, living for free, and making a well-planned move...

Sure would, especially with friends who will late you stay at their condo when you come to visit. You might have to learn to climb, though.

I have a thing with heights, but if there's anything I enjoy, it's conquering my fears. Thank you for the bunking offer! I will most definitely take you up on it...

I have always told my climbing students that you're supposed to be afraid of heights; that's a healthy reaction to something that can kill you.

Please do.

I do fine at the rock gym, and I have a lot of strength in my thighs left over from soccer, but I definitely need more upper-body strength. It's one of those things I try to work on at yoga.

Oh, it was a great weekend. Very relaxing. I posted about it a page or two ago.

Willow looked like a great time. I really oughta try some whitewater stuff sometime. I've just done mellow Class 2 in a canoe.

Hmmm. I'd say you need technique before strength. No one needs to do a pullup in their first year or so of climbing. Then again, I always get swatted in gyms.

some people had a novice (first time in a yak) on the river today.....we let them go by....the novice was a little over his head.......

I just think I see the big gym pads on the floor, and I think, "That won't hurt if I fall on it."

The ground, will probably feel a little more painful. And there's definitely the chance for more height out-of-doors.

Y'all going to take me out paddling before I go?

I'll bet he was also terrified. I'll have a bombproof roll before I do anything serious.

Well, I guess if I had to fall all the way to the ...base level... while climbing, I'd prefer it to be in a gym, but the point of all the ropes and stuff is that you never do.

you paddle?
what skill level?

Let's hope not.

Sounds like a good time!

 

[SheRemembers]

The lowest, most likely.

yeah, and a pool roll just isn't the same in the river.....at least, he was dressed to swim.....however, we found he had not been briefed about foot entrapments, etc.....grrrrrr
