I'm Willing To Move On If You Are

I didn't get enough sleep last night...
dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
I felt all lethargic...
dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
I was hoping that the oatmeal would help...
dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
but it didnt
dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
My hands felt all tender
dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
on just the first route...
dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
And 'Drea's got the rock climbing bluesssssssss

Okay, that wasn't the best blues song but I'm willing to move on if you are... We were a crew of six today and when there's a group of six, we have to remind ourselves to keep the yakking to a minimum.

As my little blues ditty indicates, today was not a very good rock climbing outing. Still, I was pleased with how cleanly I climbed Hallelujah, the cleanest that I've ever climbed it.

We all had fun on a new route, Pacman Revival.

Patti, the Wheaties-eater, had fun all over the place and wanted to try a 5.10 and bouldering. I kinda got a second wind too.

Me: Everyone else is in the locker room.

Patti: That's okay; we're studs.

Me: (((cackling)))

Chris belaying for Mike. We wondered if men would stay away from the Girl Power route; they didn't.

Chris' Dilemma: Fingernail Length (short is ideal for rock climbing but not for fly fishing)


Josh's 15th Consecutive Day of Climbing. His motto? Burn and grow.

Busted Myth of the Day: We saw a frog who was splotchy and gray like a rock; his camouflage was excellent. Froggy peed on Jessica's hand. I thought peeing as a defense mechanism was a myth. It's not.

What did you do today? Did you cackle like you meant it? Yak a lot?
