Pics - Smith Rock

Hello fine people. I write to you amidst a crazy monsoon in Seattle. I heard today that it has rained more ALREADY this November than any other November here on record. I didn't cross ref. this factoid - but kablooey!!! Them's a lot of raindrops!

Two weekends ago me and the ol' gang took a 6 hour drive south down to Smith Rock for potentially the last outdoor climb for the season (at least for awhile)...It was a great opportunity to try out sleeping in our new Blazer!!! It was a champ!!!!

The trip was a nice little excursion, allowed me to spend some time with friends I haven't seen in awhile - and spend some serious time on my new sodoku fetish.

I hope everyone is doing well - I am - though I have been spontaneously stressed this last week. Come visit one and all! If no one has plans for Thanksgiving, Gregg and I will be home in Seattle, all are welcome to join us for a feast (I might add that we haven't even planned where this feast will be)...

Email me! Call me!!! My brother is in Argentina and I need replacement friends!

The people in the pictures below (which mostly weren't taken by me) are Gregg, Brad, Aaron and Jill.

P.S. I went bowling yesterday, but didn't have socks on me, as it was an impromptu midnight bowl sesh - so I got some out of a vending machine at the alley - they have pins and a bowling ball embroidered on them - does it get any cooler!!!?
