Indoor Rock-Climbing
I went to an indoor rock-climbing gym today in Penn's Landing, Philadelphia. It was the best indoor gym I've seen, inside an old brick warehouse, and with a great amount of climbing space.
Now I'm no rock-climbing expert. I've done it once before, and unfortunately I never was able to reach the top.
But today that changed.
While exhausted, and seconds from quitting when I had gotten half-way up the climb, I pushed myself through that wall of exhaustion and reached the top. It was pretty exciting. It's funny, the whole pushing oneself to do something. Because I really just about quit and I would think that climbing that high was just beyond my abilities right now.
Boy are my forearms tired.
My house has no heat right now. Turns out I needed to get a propane tank refilled. Who knew? I hope it's not too cold tomorrow. . . Because I fear no one will do anything until Monday. I'm trying to keep wood in that old fireplace round the clock.
I am terrible at Halo 2. All I basically do is walk around all by myself, never seeing anyone else. And then occassionally I get killed by someone. But still, it is fun. I just wish I was better.

Why is it that all the cool, fun stuff I want to do always happens when VCF guys have Bachelor's parties? I am neither a bachelor nor, er, a man...
cool, I got up the really easy one... everyone else (David, Uriah, Jamie, and the two Katie's) were flying up the walls... oh well...
Susan--
I actually have a theory about that. I think it's because the girls have a general custom -- the shower -- which is still acceptable for people with Christian morals. I mean you basically get together, eat, talk, and give gifts. But the guys' tradition -- the bachelor party with the strippers or whatever, well we just can't do that so we are charged to figure out a whole new, but still fun, event, without any nudity. So we have to be more creative, and come up with some really fun activities.
Well there was that twenty minutes...
Alright, Ian, spill it. Who told you? That was supposed to be a secret.
yeah, I was kinda shocked that you said nudity wasn't allowed... I mean... on this board..... :-P
