the weather in the bay area had other plans. it was cold, and rainy, and we even saw some flurries. climbing was out, so we had to find other ways to entertain ourselves.
we did a decent job. gc and i worked a few hours on friday morning. i fed him real coffee (thank you peets!) and he was so hyper by 11 am he wanted to climb things to get to the gym to climb. the gym was good, even if i did break his forearms by making gc climb a 10a on his first time out.
that night, went to see the As school boston and tim wakefield on friday instead of driving up to tahoe. we went on saturday instead, so that the gorgeous views could be fully appreciated. we hiked a short trail around spooner lake on sat, despite the cold and the flurries and played cranium after dinner.
i, of course, employed my life motto when it comes to board games of i don't give a fuck and of course we lost. but who can really win at that game, when hey you practices on a weekly basis and knows all the questions?
sunday we watched the indy 500 befor heading to tourist trap virginia city where the booze, gunfights, and slot machines were plentiful. and i got a great pic of my first album cover, if i ever form a rock band with gc, mopey boy, b, hey you, and andy.
monday was just about driving home and having pizza in the city with bbq. pretty yummy stuff.
so i think we did make some progress, and are that much closer in convincing gc to move out here. he really likes nature and really liked the climbing we did at ironworks on friday, even if he was sore for the rest of his trip.
i tried to tell gc that i changed my mind about giving him a ride to the airport, but he said it was too late cos we were already there. i reluctantly let him get out of the car and board the plane.
next time though, it won't be so easy for him to escape. i need to make better plans for his next trip. and have more rope handy.
