dreaming of red rocks

red rocks

 
Who me? Sitting here looking through all the climbs I could be doing at Red Rocks and drooling? And looking online for cheap cams? That’s not the sort of thing I would do. Shame on all of you.

(Ok, and for the record, clockwise from top left the climbs are Resolution Arete, 5.10; Viagra Falls, 5.12a; St. Stephen, 5.8; Y2K, 5.10a; Dark Shadows, 5.8; Prince of Darkness, 5.10c – and thanks to climbingredrocks.com and Guillaume, whose photos I borrowed)

going to sin city

Yay yay! I have found a return flight to Las Vegas for $98, so come April, there will be four days of climbing at Red Rocks (and possibly getting married to a random stranger or two at Graceland Chapel, gambling away my life savings, that sort of thing). Hooray! Manic excitement prevails.

leaving for thailand

hooray, leaving for thailand today. not going to eat any chickens, kiss any chickens, or sacrifice any chickens. hopefully that should prevent any fatal bird flu incidents. nearly packed now. well, who am i kidding, i have a pile and a list, that’s close enough.

(oh, and as an update on the tick incident, apparently my skin became infected, which has led to two of the lymph glands behind my ear becoming swollen and pressing on things. i now have antibiotics. note to self: don’t get ticks)
