Friday glee has a change of pace

Video! Pete Whittaker gives a guided tour of the bizarre boulder problems at CrackFest.

We may all be a little short on glee right now, so I thought I'd change it up and ask how we're all doing and what we're doing to keep occupied while the pandemic makes actual climbing impossible for most of us.

Rock climbing, for my husband and I, kind of opened up a whole world of outdoor enjoyment (even though we only climb indoors so far!). Since we can't climb, we've been doing a LOT of walking in the hopes that we can start hiking, and we've also gotten really into bird watching. Our neighborhood still has many natural habitats and preserved spaces for wildlife, so when we go for walks, we bring binoculars and a camera so we can spot all the interesting birds around. We've also put up a bunch of bird feeders in our forested backyard so that we can have bird TV.

Nice! I love the idea of bird feeders. I've have damned little success with them because the squirrels here are like the fucking Flying Wallendas.

I am watching my way through all of Buffy - though it looks like I'm going to run out of Buffy before lockdown ends...

Pat and I ware watching comedy specials. I've been recording some tv, but I'm waiting for the seasons to end so I can binge it all at once. Apparently I want something new. God only knows why.

I've been doing my boxing exercises to keep my core strong. It's boring though, without the coach, and I miss climbing so bad I can taste it.

But I'm also an essential employee in an essential business - blood bank. So I'm still working full time.
