Thanks guys. I still feel young at heart. You californians sure rise early! Ed - good for you. Commuting has been kind a challenge lately weather wise.

My goal this year is to get you all out to Reese. It's magical.

Hey Freddie,

Happy B. Getting on this post early is like getting tickets to the Stones.

Thanks for being an inspiration to me both in looking for the spectacular and dealing with the practical.

Your Birthday, today?? I though nothing was going during this Dog forsaken cold spell. Today I managed to hike the Cliffhanger Trail and did you bike to work? Man, you still got coffee? Well you, Anne & beau, Jay, Ed, David Byrne, goatboy, ron Anderson, et all will toast coffee in unison at 6 pm for this big ONE, aimed mostly at getting your wounds healed, Superficial and otherwise.


Happy Birthday,

Mike is an inspiration, and would be even if he'd never climbed a pitch, he's one of the few who know they are giving back to humanity in real, critically important ways in his career.

Have a good one Mike.

[photoid=551388]Happy birthday brother! Just to think you have spent half your life at the Dylan wall!


Not mike but the Dylan wall, stock exchange wall, spaghetti western wall, anyone who climbs in the swell owes him beer! I took this photo the day I walked into camp bob and asked , hey are you guys climbers? and met mike, he and the lady in the photo were pretty much the only ones in the group that were really nice to a stranger. 1991 or 92 perhaps
