Cause all I need to know is what I can see.

So I'm in love...

...with rock climbing. Jeanette took me to the local rock gym on Tuesday and showed me the ropes (literally!). Took the little test on the knots, belay, and commands, then hit the wall. Hard. As Jeanette put it, "You haven't really gone climbing until you leave some blood on the wall." Well, I didn't leave blood so much as the wall left a good sized bruise on my knee. We did a little bit of bouldering after my first two complete climbs (the first attempt was badly received by myself), or I should say that Jeanette did some bouldering and I really tried hard. But the good news is that we're going again today, and I'm psyched for it. It's probably one of the best workouts I've ever had. I'll see if Jeanette or someone can snag some photos today.

Also, I get to go to my first drive-in tonight! That's pretty neat. I think we're going to see "Hancock" and "Don't Mess with the Zohan" double-header, although the "Wall-E" and "Get Smart" appeal to me more, but I think Jeanette already saw "Wall-E". Anyway, that should be pretty cool.

I should go clean my windshield. I don't think the moviemakers intended for their craft to be viewed through 800 miles of bug splatter.

Frolf is starting to come to me more naturally. Beat my first group of FtC natives on Edora the other day, due to my drives really coming along. Granted, they aren't tourney players, but they live right next to Edora and throw it all the time. And, I still only beat them by parring most of the front nine, getting my first birds on the course, and solidly parring all of the back nine. Think I'll go throw in a little bit to loosen up the arms before a few solid hours of practicing Popper and Bach, then warping the forearms on a cement wall. Whoo!

Also, send me your addresses for some postcards from NBB!
