I'm going climbing today on the auto-belay. I never did climb last weekend. Our dog, Rosie, who was 14 1/2 was not doing well. She had been diagnosed with terminal cancer in March, so I had a feeling the time was closing in and chose to be with her. We lost her on Monday, which was very hard.

So today, after I run errands, I will go and climb and it will ease the burdens on my heart a bit. Nothing helps me like getting on a wall.
