I got to go rock climbing on Wednesday night.
Well, on a rock wall... best I can do this time of year.

O.K., well, back to where we were....
Dearest and I took wee one #3 to the college rec center
for a little one on one time.
If you want to turn heads at a college
strap a 6 year old to a rock wall
and say "go ahead buddy!"
and go he did...It took a little encouraging from mom and dad (and a well timed tow or two on the rope) for him to get as high as he wanted to.

Because some day I would like to take them here.
So we can do this kind of thing...
Yes, really!
Final quote -
"Rocks make no compromise for sex... rock climbing is not like some sports, where it is made easier for women; or sports like, say, softball, which is only baseball for soft people. On a rock, everything is equal."
