Such Great Heights

Suspended twenty feet above the ground...wait, that's not the beginning..hmm? OK, Here we go!

Blistered hands, scrapped knees, and sore muscles, sounds like a good time right? Well it was but for very different reasons. I went rock climbing today for the first time in several months, and it couldn't have gone better.

Events, well First off I dreamt about it last night cos I couldn't stop thinking about how much fun I was going to have. I woke up a bit earlier than usual and got ready, but I had so much time on my hands. Oh, I also forgot, this is for an article I wrote about climbing for substance. So Susie came for me and we got there before our photographer did. It gave us time to warm up and show Susie how to use her equipment. It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, but still wasn't bad.

Aldo, our photographer, showed up and I belayed Susie up the wall where Aldo shot her. He did a really good job, and when he was done, I went on to boulder some more. I felt very inexperienced compared to most of the people there, but I guessed that they were all at my level at some point in time. There were a lot of guys there too, HOT guys. I was so shocked because I expected guys, but not hot ones. Well Emily showed up and she learned to belay and climb.

Just about the time she showed up, Aldo was leaving. It was OK, but would have been fun to boulder with him. Anyhow, I let Em climb, and lo an behold, a perfect example of a man walks in. He looked so nice and was exactly my type. Em and I watched as he climbed around getting all hot and sweaty, while we got all hot and bothered. I couldn't explain but I got a vibe from him, not exactly a gay one, but he may be a little curious.

So, being the investigative journalist I am, I asked him if he would do an interview since he was from Mt SAC, and what hot guy wouldn't want to be interviewed? I pretty much asked him why he came to climb, and how long he has been doing it. In the process, he gave me his number, I didn't even have to ask. I could also tell he was checking me out, yeah I'm that good.

All in all it was a great day, and I may just get a membership so I can see him again. Oh, did I mention, he's in the Fire Academy at Mt. SAC ;)

Happy Thoughts...
