  • Suicide Rock

    Our first instinct in the morning is to relax all day and forget about climbing. But after a good breakfast at the Idyllwild Cafe we decide to at least hike up to look at Suicide Rock. And bring some gear just in case. Randy comes along and gives us a tour of his old stomping…

  • Tahquitz

    I start the day wandering around the county campground looking for Roy & Walter, but it’s almost empty. I call Roy’s cell phone, and he says they’re in sites 7 & 8. Eventually we figure out that they are in the state park campground. We join Roy, Randy, Walter and Kelly at Jan’s for a…

  • vote,work,wagon wheel

    I started the day at the polls, voting my Libertarian conscience in the California Recall Gubanatorial Field Day. Then I went to work – yesterday I emailed a colleague and she came through instantly with a couple weeks worth of coding for me to do! So I got to spend the day learning Objective C…

  • exercise

    We stopped for some healthful groceries after our 25-mile bike ride.

  • Wagon Wheel Festivities

    The gang gathers to crank some problems, have a few drinks, play some music, throw some grub on the grill, and generally celebrate life with boulders.

  • Movie: The Last Picture Show

    This is the real stuff. It was controversial when released in ’71, and it’s still provocative. The minimalist setting of small town Texas in 1952 boils the coming-of-age theme down to the bone. Great period soundtrack too, even if I’m not a big country fan.

  • Movie: Lilo and Stitch

    Staying with Ann’s mom in Redlands, we decide to watch a Disney movie on TV instead of renting something. Oops.

  • Don’t take a ride in Raleigh

    Cyclists across the nation have reacted with furor to reports, widely disseminated on the Internet, that a Raleigh, NC radio station (G105) owned by Clear Channel Communications recently advocated violence against cyclists, including suggestions of how to run cyclists off the road. On two morning shows last week, the disc jockeys encouraged listeners to call…

  • jobless again!

    Even though I’m married now, I’m in a better position than I was last time I faced unemployment, so we’re not likely to face homelessness in the near future. Still, the project I was working on was slated for another year, and its cancellation is a bit awkward. Most likely I will be at work…
