Still trying to keep a little vertical distance from reality.

Schlax,
Sorry to hear you are stuck at camp. Eric is keeping me informed about what that must be like. I imagine it’s more fun than the Builder, and less miserable than attending a rainy losing ND game.
Today I drove to North Lame (or some town nearby that looked exactly the same). It was 95° and smelled strongly of cows. I sat in a windowless conference room for 6 hours and then drove back. My coworkers made a big deal out of eating Rocky Mountain Oysters, which I think sounds like a good name for a local minor league team.
Remember, if you can’t climb because of the cold, use your artistic eye to find an ice cave ballroom.
Love,
Mary

Psalm 121 -A Song of Ascents-
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord . Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. “
The team remains in our thoughts and prayers. We know you are looking at the top of the “high one”.
Waiting patiently as you have in the cold and snow will make your ascent even more glorious.
Everyone is excited about your return!
“Success is the sum of small efforts day in and day out” Robert Collier
Love,
Mom and Dad

“In a sense everything that is exists to climb. All evolution is a climbing towards a higher form.
Climbing for life as it reaches towards the consciousness, towards the spirit. We have always
honored the high places because we sense them to be the homes of gods. In the mountains there
is the promise of ..... something unexplainable. A higher place of awareness, a spirit that soars.
So we climb… and in climbing there is more than a metaphor; there is a means of discovery.”

Thinking of you Blake….. I’m so excited for you !!!
Love, Mom
