Dmitry convinced me to climb in this years bouldering challenge at Stone Gardens. I was going to do intermediate, but got convinced to do advanced. I placed 15th overall! See Results.

I could have placed higher if I hadn’t falling when trying to flash a problem, but one of the judges smiles made me bashful.

Pictures coming soon …

Went to the Woodland Park Zoo this morning and snapped a couple photos. The giraffes were getting their barn cleaned. They happened to be outside and were willing to pose.

When my brother and I were in Vegas I took the following picture:

Just recently someone photoshopped it and did this:

I was certainly impressed and slightly flattered he chose my photo.

She passed today unexpectedly. She was bad at times, but great at others. What else can you expect from a cat. I will miss her.
