stuff and stuff

Bailed on most of my walk around erranding day to do a climbing session with a friend who's been very busy for a while with a boyfriend; she's experiencing workplace woes due to budget problems in the city school system, and needed vertical therapy stat. She recently got an amazingly cute miniature dachshund puppy, who is so good-natured he has made me rethink my low opinion of the breed. Of course it's the owners who turn the dogs into assholes, by setting the tone. We had a swell workout, great chat, and I managed to squeeze in a bit of choring later.
