Climb On!

I recently joined Mission Cliffs Gym in the hope to get back in shape and actually have fun doing it. And, after a few weeks of going at least 4 times a week, I have to say that it is working quite nicely. I've not lost much weight, but I can feel myself getting stronger again. Hell, if nothing else, I've got my calloused and blistered hands to show for it...at least I'm out doing things!

The other benefit, is one I frankly wasn't expecting. Friendship, in more way than one. I've met some really nice people there and think that I may even get a few dates out of this place as well. Of course, I'm my typical charming self, but throw in my climbing ineptitude and I'm a real winner...endearing in that clumsy, fall on your butt sort of way. Fortunately, there are any number of cute girls who aren't much better climbers than I am and appreciate the fact that I don't (or can't) show off...

So we'll see how this all goes. If nothing else, it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun!
