Well, maybe not THE most beautiful thing - there's lots of things I haven't seen.

The day I got her - she was full of fleas and mites, hence the pathetic wet appearance.

This is rather evocative:

Stzzo;..yeah....I took that photo...with a little point and shoot $150.00 mini Olympus camera.....We were on a peak call Vilunaraju(sp)....just out of Hauraz (sp again...).....it looks like a bull's horns...and sure had great views of Oshalpalca and Ranrapalca....the climb was cool.......took a taxi from town up a dirt road to a place where trucks go everyday to cut chunks of ice out of the glacier, which they turned around and sold in town to the local markets. IT had about 500 feet on easy (5.5-5.7) slabs on granite....then cool easy snow ice (a few steep sections) to the summit.....which was maybe 16,000-18,000'.....something like that.....great one day trip with great views and fairly straightforward and relatively safe climbing.....I'm not a good photographer, but go to places often where even a dummy like me can get the killer shots!

My most beautiful thing relates to your reading material in the very first picture of your awesome baby birds crimpergirl. I can't imagine that Jesus would be willing to die and take the punishment for my sin that I might live. Sorry if that offends some but, to me that is the most beautiful thing.

Yo Mojede, if those are your kids, I got bad news.

I think we're related.

If you're wife is named Molly and her mom (aunt? sorry, it's a huge family) recently passed in a terrible auto accident (RIP)...anyways, said mother or aunt would be the sister of my wifes grandma.

Not sure how to work the dog's dentist sisters garbageman into the scenario but you get the gist...

I've never met Ladd but good lookin kid there and Liddie looks like her mom.

Also, the boldering at grandma's house makes those holiday sufferfests worthwile. Especially if there was another climber to play on them!!!

Cheers!
