Friday night hangout

RAIN!!!!!!!!

   I was beginning to think we'd never see it again. A nice rainy Friday night. (And the rain continued for over 24 hours... finally!) Fortunately, it couldn't dampen the indoor activity I had planned...
   I go climbing with friends once a month or so. It's a great way to end a long work week, and Ibex is open 'til 10 pm on Fridays. It is SO MUCH FUN. Mentally, I could go all night, but after 3 or 4 hours my fingers are begging for mercy. Better shape up, fingers! We have more climbing to do!!!

Time to make like a squirrel!

We're slightly less blurry in real life. Unless I remove my contact lenses.

Here, as you can see, Britten's cracking me up.

   Surprise, surprise. Just like while I'm planking in yoga, her jokes make it VERY hard to concentrate! She & Rich & I had a ton of fun.

My new favorite path, if only for the name: Serengeti Yeti.

I cannot wait to try climbing in the wild someday...

Jim, on the right, is a lot of fun. And William, on the left, is FREAKIN' SPIDERMAN!!!

   And after our climb, a great, big burger at Clancy's Irish Pub. The rain was still falling, but it was a quick run across the parking lot. About 20 of us hung out and traded stories over our meals. That's what I call a happy hour!
