Should I Keep This Up?

The summer is almost up - I'm leaving St. Louis to return to Princeton this Saturday. So, the original purpose for this blog is done, but I'm not quite ready to give it up. I think it's a useful tool to keep in contact with you guys. (Do you think so? Leave a comment!)

I could end this one and start a new one, but that seems like more trouble than it is worth. I just changed the name of the blog a little bit, and I guess I'll just keep going. The topics of discussion will be a little different (less climbing, more chemistry), but I think I'll be able to keep it interesting.

As a plus, I also recently got a camera, so there will be more pictures.

So much climbing, so little posting

Altogether, I'd rather be climbing than writing on this blog, so I think it's a good balance.

Since Friday, when I last posted, I've climbed every day either before or after work. Yesterday, my dad arrived here for a short visit. Awesome! We climbed together this morning at Jurassic and had a wonderful session. Tomorrow i'm off from work (finally) and we're going to head to lumpy to do some multipitch.

I'd write more, but I have to wake up early to CLIMB!

Making a blog?!

So, I used to think that blogs were a new age construct that were kind of self-important. But, nonetheless, here I am starting a blog. I got the idea from overhearing two other people talking about blogs, and I think it's a good idea for a few reasons.
I wanted to communicate what I was up to this summer, and had been doing it by email. A blog will, I think, be a little easier for a few reasons. First of all, I feel a little imposing flooding people's inboxes with mass emails. With a blog, if you're not interested then you don't have to read it, no harm - no foul. It's also very easy to share a blog with others - all it takes is sharing the URL address.
So, I guess here it goes. Welcome to my blog. (That still feels awkward to write)
