Last night I saw the preview of Shakespeare Walla Walla's "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" at the Powerhouse Theatre. Some of the humor needed a little fine-tuning, but all in all...
After my first full week break (much needed) from climbing in a while, my muscles felt nice and relaxed, and I enjoyed getting to boulder at Stone Gardens Seattle yesterday. Stone Gardens seems to be doing...
