With sun and warmth, maybe the last hot day of the year; nice climbing workout with a friend, who brought along her amazingly patient ten year old, who hung out amusing himself while we climbed.
Moving right along in Carter's The Passion of New Eve, but it's starting to get kind of frightening. An unsympathetic male character has been whisked under a desert into what sounds like a super-feminist compound, where it is darkly hinted that he will undergo drastic changes to his anatomy; yikes. This is a twist on dystopic stories.
