Well at least it's not golf.

One of the senior mgr type people here was listed as running the Tuesday Night Hikes club. I saw him in the hall, and asked about it. (Yes, I was schmoozing.) He said they're not running during the winter, will start up again on the daylight savings switch.

As we're walking away from each other, he stops and calls back "You don't rock climb by any chance, do you?"

Heh heh.

"Well, I used to, but haven't since my shoulder surgery three years ago."

"Oh, well, you should come out with us, we go every Tue and Thu night, over in Valhalla."

"Great! I'll keep it in mind."


Well, that gives me a good excuse to go hit the gym and get my upper body back in shape... :)

"Sorry I can't go with you, I'm going rock climbing in Valhalla."

*snicker*

*lol* Yeah, I know, I know...

The funniest part? Valhalla is awash with cemeteries.

No, really - check this out: http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Valhalla,+NY+10595&ie=UTF8&z=14&ll=41.079739,-73.775768&spn=0.037072,0.083256&om=1

"Rock climbing in Valhalla" sounds like a euphemism.

For *so* many things.

Love that list (north to south):

Mt. Pleasant Cemetery
Mt. Eden Cemetery
Gate of Heaven Cemetery
Kensico Cemetery
Westchester Community College (hey, zombies gotts go to school _somewhere_)
Mt. Calvary Cemetery

I'm guessing "Mt." means something different back there, yes?

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

If by different, you mean 'lump', then yes.

OTOH, they actually have exposed rock here, unlike central NC.

[georgmi.livejournal.com]

So what you're saying is, someplace I have never seen has slightly less exposed rock than someplace else I have never seen? (one point)

[kickaha.livejournal.com]

Yup, now you're getting it.

Only a complete cad such as yourself would drag Miami Vice into a perfectly innocent thread like that. You should be ashamed, suh!

*glove slap*



Awwww, I didn't mean it, I don't know what came over me...

You sound exActly like the last yellow-bellied carpetbagger trying to escape the just desserts of his actions. Y'know, the one I horsewhipped out of town.

Sorry, that was temporary possession by my 4th-great uncle who I believe I've told you about. He's gone now. (Maybe it wasn't my uncle. Maybe it was Foghorn Leghorn. They sound alike, a little.)

Y'know, I coughed up $5 to join metafilter just to make a Miami Vice reference on a post. Honestly.
