Offday canceled

It was to have been a day off from climbing training, but fortunately I got an unexpected call from a friend I hadn't seen for a while. She is a teacher, this week is spring break, and she was eager to go to the gym during the early afternoon, as it's not crowded like the evenings. We had a fine time, and she and her paramour are flying to Denver tomorrow, then driving to southwestern Utah for a few days of hiking and camping; or maybe they're staying at a dude ranch. I'm hoping for a full report upon her return. She's ecstatic to have found a kindred soul to be with in this decade of our lives, and it's wonderful to see her so happy.
