Four Weeks

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog for about four weeks now so to bring you up to speed please enjoy the following run on sentence, and the new Five Finger Death Punch cover of Bad Company. I got sick four weeks ago with some respiratory virus, held the couch down, hoping it is gone, I climbed with Kent, Brett (twice), Ryan, Shannon, Mike, and Joe, was only able to run starting last week, learned that I still remember how to crash a mountain bike (still sore from that one), made it to the gym a few times with Amy, Ryan, Meagan, Shannon, Ann, helped move a safe, attended Ryan's very fun 30th birthday party, and those are the highlights.

No More Friends

That's right. I'm swearing off making any new friends. It all started a little over four years ago with Mike and Kent. They suckered me into being their friend. Yeah, it was great, but then they moved. Stayc moved, but at least she came back. Ryan has talked of moving to Bend, and Brett is perpetually looking to leave. Angela can't wait to leave when she graduates. David is in Phoenix. Now one more of you is hitting the bricks. I'm not sure if it is still a secret so I won't divulge anything I shouldn't. Amy and I were fighting over who will miss you the most. It's a bummer. I don't think that it can be a coincidence. Too many people I call friends leave Tucson. It must be me. That's why I refuse to make any new friends. I will enjoy my current friends until, one by one, they all move away. I will have to find a belay slave, but everything else I can do on my own. I'll just search the gym for some poor lonely soul who doesn't have a partner, and has to get their climbing workout by traversing around the gym. I won't establish a relationship other than climber-belayer with them. I guess it could be worse. Steve could move to town just long enough to tell me he's leaving.

One Month

Amy and I decided to give up sugar for one month. Granted we had to take a day off for Amy's birthday, but other than that we have done very well sticking to the rules. We actually started on April 4th (had to wait until after Easter you know). Then today we were laying around the house because we have been sick all week. We were minding our own business when Amy's cell phone rings. Long story short, Satan was on the other end of the line. She had left the tastiest looking chocolate cake I had seen in a very long time outside our door. I would post a picture, but there is not much left of it. We have decided to celebrate anyway. We are planning on going to BTO yogurt on Wed. if any of you can make it we would love to celebrate our almost going one month without sugar with you. And Satan, thanks for the cake. It really was delicious. I especially liked the cherries.
