Eric,
Happy B-Day! You look the same. Uh, well I guess that could be bad or good. I remember your first day on the rocks. Remember that rock climbing class at Mt D? Glad to see you're still at it. Had you ever gone back to do Crossbones? It ended-up to be a pretty decent route, especially due to your efforts. Perhaps you can suffer an extra old fart when you and Ed head out...
cheers, ec

~ERIC~
Happy Birthday to a man amoung men.
Can't wait to see you up there on your new project across the river, we will be the ones grunting through the roof beside you on our route.
You will love it up there! Glad to hold your rope anytime.
p.s. Even though you're ripped these days please eat loads of cake today and celebrate your life...you are the BEST.

Happy birthday Eric!
Did I ever tell you that the German Swimsuit Model™ caught my 20 footer on The Line?
She got launched about 10 feet in the air - handled it quite well for a novice...
Hope you're still pissing off (and on, heh heh) the Eunuchs from Placerville.
