Good Idea/ Bad Idea



In life there are some good ideas and some bad ideas. Sometimes however, it depends on how you view these ideas.

Idea 1
Deciding to climb Mt Timpanogos during dinner with some friends at 9:30 on a Friday night. Personally having already ran 5 miles that day and played some tennis. Decided start time: 4:15 AM
Amount of sleep: none
Distance to be hiked: about 20 miles

Idea 2
Bringing a city kid from shy-town and a black kid from North Long Beach on the climb. Neither of whom have ever hiked in their lives, and one having a fear of heights and a recent knee surgery. Additionally, in the words of the young man from the LBC at about mile 9 on the hike... "man, black people don't climb mountains".



Idea 3
Deciding to jump/slide into a 32 degree glacier lake. nough said.

Idea 4
Running the last 8 miles of the hike in 95 degrees.

Yup, well I guess there are only good ideas on this post. Good Ideas!

Summer Time Favs

1) Throwback Jerseys
2) Climbing (new addition for 2007)
3) Ratha's creepy eyes as he dips his hand in a chalk bag
4) Climbing in throwback jerseys. Shaun is an extra impressive climber everytime he throws on the Barkley jersey. Rest in Peace Charles. Rest in Peace. Basketball will never be the same.

Demo Derby





Only seeing cars smash together, drivin' by top notch white trash drivers can cause the fabled "blue or red mouth of excitement" face.
