Some random things!

I keep forgetting that it is Thanksgiving weekend, I should make a(nother) pie :)

I went to the gym tonight to play racquetball, but was thwarted by a lack of balls. None to rent, and none even to buy! Instead, merc and I went climbing! Which she is very good at, despite not having been for years, and I am crap at! Still it was fun, and educational. My problems are partly psychological (not trusting myself enough), and partly physical. I know I need to rely on leg strength mostly, but the impulse is to pull myself up, still. Also, I need to do more lunges to go with my squats, and possibly work on flexibility. the muscles I needed to engage were sadly underdeveloped. That also includes my forearms, which were pretty sore from me hanging on whilst groping about for a foothold I trusted. But even so, I think we will go again. I just need to find some decently affordable climbing shoes...

I think I am going to Weinerfest tomorrow! With JJ, even if she is not a weiner by breed ^-^

Something completely unrelated made me think of this song tonight. But you have to skip to almost the 2 min mark to actually hear it, unless you are interested in how it was conceived. My mom had this album, and I've always liked the song - but I haven't heard it or thought of it in yeeeeeears...
