Not to nitpick, but..
Isn't it, "To be or not to be, that is the question."
I've always enjoyed your work Pat. I know it would take an incredible amount of time, what with the concomitant drastic increase in the number of good climbers in the last decade, but I wish there was an addendum we could buy for Wizards of Rock, to bring us up to the present day.
I learned a lot of history in that volume. Not everything of importance that has happened was included, but you tried, and did an entertaining job.

I am gathering info all along, have a nice pile of improvement I hope one day to be able to make, so if you have (or anyone has) something important that you feel I left off, please send it to me. I'll take a look and see if I agree. I'm sure there is a certain objectivity and/or subjectivity involved. I did a lot of talking with a whole lot of people who were "there," and between all of them they were almost everywhere... I know I could improve the book, but it's the best thing out there at least, for now, even with needed improvements.
Ron, are your words some type of banal insult? Or just playin' around? I don't get the tone. I'm a little slow.
The show is a huge convention of rescuers, sheriffs, etc., gathering in Ogden. They invited Jeff and me to be the guest speakers for the banquet nights, Friday and Saturday...

Well, theres a bunch of answers for me. Didn't expect all the feedback, but I guess with such a subject matter, there are going to be plenty of opinions. With or without herb, have some fun in the mountains.
Two questions:
"to be or not to be", powerful six words?? I never got that kind of writing. Yeah? and...What is the meaning. Live life? Really a dimwit with literature.
Also, what is the big D? Someone said something about momma boys who smoke herb on big wall

Oli- I'll treat you to a meal at Piccolo's next weekend. Good Italian food in a small setting. And inexpensive with a carafe of the house red only $8. Just my style. I do remember Star Span with you and John. Small route, but another of your gems. I think it was the only climb you and I ever roped up for together. I tried the lead and oozed out of the final crux jam. Then, of course Johnny B cruised it and you and I followed.
See you soon!
