Ox Fall Down

Bouldering tonight with Rodney Harrison up at Jack's barn. He works routes while I clutch the largest holds I can find. The boys ask for his autograph but he just waves his hands covered with chalk and mouths, Sorry. I tell him his arm looks good.

"The arm feels good. How's the stomach?"

Stomach's fine. Back's improving. Climbing stresses both but it's time. Yoon ok'd swimming. How am I going to swim in NH in March? Bouldering will have to suffice.

The snow is holding. I'm grateful for this valley, this barn, the Sopranos finally starting their season. Oh, yeah. If you take your Wyoming bride surfing in Mexico on your honeymoon...you win.
