The CragBaby

This week has started out splendidly, but the last couple weeks were a little rough for a handful of reasons. However, during the bumpy times I was fortunate enough to receive many nice gestures from a variety of people and so wanted to say thank you.

• One day it was raining and I was trying to head to a board meeting in Orem; however, my car decided to boycott starting. A female neighbor I had never met came and jumped my car and then, when it still didn’t work, helped push it to the side of the road. And yes, it was down pouring the whole time and she had just worked a graveyard shift.
• The bummer week hit a climax on one particular day. Yet, upon arriving home I had a DVD of new music from my friend New York friend Harper.
• I have a great friend here in Salt Lake who for some reason always comes to my rescue. No matter if it is a ride to the airport, a ride home from work, helping me when my scooter gets stolen… you name it he is there. His name is Dave and he has truly been a great friend to me. When the car decided to stop working last week, Dave not only gave me a ride home from work, but tried to jump it again and then called around to diagnose the problem and find affordable parts.
• My friend Shaft has listen to me complain quite a bit this last week. Talking through problems is extremely beneficial for me and I definitely appreciated the listening ear. Plus he always brings fantastic snacks to the crag.
• A couple weeks ago I was planning on heading to Momentum to climb. My friend BW knew I was heading to the gym so left me a free guest pass on the windshield of my car.
• My Irish friend HIP #1 is traveling through Australia, yet seems to always have the time to drop me an email or call to check up on me and CB.
• My friend Orange has occasional dinner parties, of which she is increasing to a bi-weekly frequency working around the weekends when I am in town. It was so thoughtful and I am stoked to get to be there each time.
• My friend Cutesy Doom has left me a couple awesome voice mails that have made me giggle out loud.
• Two weekends ago I headed to The Horn with some climbing friends. I was able to hop on two of the best climbs of my life because two fellow climbers threw up a rope. Both routes were pushing my limit and I don’t know if I could have lead them. So thanks to these climbers I was able to experience two classic Horn routes.

Thanks….
