Stoked. Got a phone call last night and an opportunity to fly up to CO and get on Crestone Needle. Will delay the doctor's and my arrival to the Valley a bit but certainly adding to the stoke. Once again, I promise not to bring my bongo heh heh. I will have boccie balls though. I didn't see it listed on Ken's itinerary page but does anyone know if Timmy O'Neil is doing a slide show on Friday? That guy is one funny a$$ Mo Fo. Ate a little warm up sushi last night, a spider roll. Wasn't as good as Nature's.

hey Penssy!
Be carefule up there on the Needle. Are you doing
Ellingwood ledges? It's an easy walk up with a half pitch
(probably wet) 5.6/7. Cake for you.
Be careful on the way down though--that's the
clincher there.
See you at FL!

If a big mean looking brown bear shows up at Yellow Pines, just sprinkle some salt on his tail and he will calm down.
