Good morning!

Last night I dreamed that I was wearing a thong, and when I woke up I had the worst wedgie.

Weird! I had a dream last night that I was telepathically giving people wedgies awl night!

How interesting.

Thats awesome. Don't forget to post a wedding pic.

Okay, we all know the whole sneaky sekrets and what happens in the microbrew bar happens in the microbrew bar, but wuz there extreme nakked urban off-piste front(lawn) country skiing?

Ask nicely and I'll post pics

Nicely?

Indeed. Will do.

I'm pretty stoked on the Tahoe weather forecast right now. We're actually going to get snow!

ha ha! Awesome! No there was not. I did enjoy quite a few really good beers though.

Had my bachelor party last night. Good times. Got drunk off as many different bottles of craft beer as I could.

Good morning!

It wuz you!

I think it's funny that the new gym there didn't get to hold the finals in their gym.

Have an appointment at the neuromuscular clinic with the specialist, pediatrician and the geneticist tomorrow. We're going to find out if he can qualify for gene therapies.

Ideally, they will be getting away from having host gyms for Nationals for many reasons.

First, by having a portable wall, they can set up in venues that will allow large crowds of spectators. I think the City Auditorium could have held 500+ spectators, and although they only had 200 or so, there was not a bad seat in the house. No gyms could accommodate those kinds of numbers.

Second, there would be no "home field" advantage for climbers knowing the intricacies of the existing walls, textures, etc.

Third, USA Climbing has total creative control with regards to hiring setters, how it is run, etc. No third party insurance policies to limit operations.

Fourth, it is often financially prohibitive for a gym to shut down for 4 or 5 days to strip walls, set, and host, not to mention the added strain on septic services, ability to set up and provide food and gear concessions, blah, blah, blah.

City Rock was listed as a companion gym, but I really don't know that meant anything other than an honorary title.

The event was near flawlessly run, and accommodated all concerns. They even set up a sky cam that raced across the room taking vids of all the climbers, and the place was crawling with still and video photogs plus press. All to pump up the volume (so to speak) to ready the eventual big push from the USA to have competitive climbing included in the Olympics. It is currently on the "short list," and will be one of the trial event in 2016 (Difficulty, Speed, and Bouldering.)

Actually, with these things in mind, all their decisions made perfect sense.

Good luck! I hope he qualifies for all the help you two can get

Well we got all the news. His tests revealed a duplication of an exon (can't remember which offhand yet). Less than 5% of kids have a duplication, and the one that presented in my son has only ever been seen once before.

This means that he doesn't fit into the norm groups, the ones they actually do research for, but he's also an anomally which makes the dr. especially interested in him.

Its also a mixed blessing that I can't hold my breath and expect this to follow some kinds of order or schedule. Gotta just go for the ride
