Extremes

From sunny early hours to deluginous evening ones; from quiet to big fun, that's how it goes. Walks accomplished with alacrity before the middle of the day, errands run, then got to meet another friend for a much-needed climbing session. She and I had fun trying out a few new harder problems, although the last one spit us off. She's looking forward to her summer travels, this time in Central America with her son. He's fluent in Spanish, and is evidently a terrific person to have along in any case. They're headed to Costa Rica, where they have been before in the surfing region, but are exploring other areas as well. The coffee's swell down there.
