I was led on by the ice I was seeing on the cliffs and the thought of "maybe around this corner". When I got back to the parking lot, there were climbers there. You're supposed to go West. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. That blows. In other news. Made a 15 mile out and back over the weekend. Pushed 15 the first day to soak in some hot springs. It was worth it.

[/nerdy joke] LOL XEmacs! I got a jorb offer with Active.com for Java/jsp work. They seem to be a little more supportive of people with an active lifestyle than my current crappy jorb. Still not the awesome work from home jorb I was hoping to get but this one is really close to the gym!

On second inspection I noticed the wizard pajamas Magnus is wearing. Just one more thing to mock him about... excellent observation. let the mocking begin. Hey...

We did Sylas' birthday party yesterday. I even allowed 2 boas, a bunch of lizards and a tarantula in the house.
