I would love to hear about the rock climb...@Laura,<br /><br />I would love to hear about the rock climbing places in your area. Prepare yourself for a visitor soon thereafter. ;)<br /><br />And we definitely feel like kids in a candy store at the new gym. <br /><br /><br />@Mich,<br /><br />The story that I will treasure the most is the one when I get to say that I did it; I passed the test. Hopefully, I'll get to pen that story soon.<br /><br />I'll have to check out Archibald Lampman's poetry -- never heard of him...<br /><br /><br />@gingersnapper,<br /><br />It's more like letting go of the rope and wall. :)<br /><br />I can definitely see the rationale behind making you fall. I just wish that I would have passed the test because now I have to contend with falling again and, actually, if I'm going to lead climb, falling will always be a possibility.<br /><br />Looks like I'm going to have to order more bravery...'Dreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445124443770488433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-58193290081677888762011-08-29T14:37:05.837-05:002011-08-29T14:37:05.837-05:00Wait - wait a minute, now.

I could not do that.<br /><br />I'm so glad you tried again! Seems as though the trick is having everything go perfectly that one time, then you're good to go. So it's just a matter of time...gingersnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387125553595180101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-16699595431461710522011-08-28T21:33:43.858-05:002011-08-28T21:33:43.858-05:00Third time will be the charm. In the meantime, you...Third time will be the charm. In the meantime, you're collecting very cool test stories, not to mention poetry. :)<br /><br />And I like the poetry in the style of Shakespeare and Browning, although for some reason rock-climbing reminds me of Wallace Stevens (USA) and Archibald Lampman (Canada).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-89368988912168944522011-08-27T21:03:18.583-05:002011-08-27T21:03:18.583-05:00(btw--I've tried to comment on some posts the ...(btw--I've tried to comment on some posts the last couple of weeks and sometimes it seems like Google won't recognize my ID--it's weird)LMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194634431878605447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8375029325235067748.post-25019350542191175852011-08-27T21:01:50.010-05:002011-08-27T21:01:50.010-05:00Cute--I love the Keats re-write:-)
Congratulation...Cute--I love the Keats re-write:-)<br /><br />Congratulations!<br /><br />That new gym looks cool and so intimidating. Someday I need to tell you about all the places people go rock climbing around here--we just redid a trail at Seneca Rocks--supposed to be a good place to climb . . . . (well, it's three hours from here--but feels close enough).LMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194634431878605447noreply@blogger.com
