I know I posted this in the Report. but I think it's worth mentioning separately. The TICKS are ferocious this year. I got 3 on me when I was climbing 3 Birches. Then, when I came in from walking the dog I found one in my hair, and I wasn't even walking in the woods, just on my neighborhood street!!! Be sure to do a tick-check if you're outside at all, and especially if you are in the woods or have animals.
This is the worst season I've seen in some years so you might want to pass this around. |

| Some weeks are easy, some are hard…this one was on the hard side, at least part of which was caused by my taking off last week to go to the Gunks. [wry grin] I keep trying to act as if I'm retired like all my friends, but it just doesn't seem to be working out for me. It seems as if no matter what I do there seems to be work to do. And between family, regular work as a software programmer, playing music and trying to do all the fun things that spring has to offer, I always seem to find myself pretty flat out. |

| WOW...two New England guidebooks published darn near simultaneously! Who woulda' thought that would come to pass? Unlike Handren's new guide to the Mount Washington Valley, this one just isn't overdue, it's something totally new. Heck, there never has been a guide to Vermont rock climbing. So is it worth it? Let's see... |
| All ice is dangerous. Grade 4 pillars are pumpy. Grade 5 pillars are pumpy and dangerous. Except for certain rare days of triple-high biorythms and favorable planetary alignments, grade 6 is beyond reach. |
