Spring Break

Posted April 13, 2007 at 6:58 pm · Comments { 0 } ·

I guess it’s not really called “Spring Break” any more for me now that I work for a living, but nevertheless this past weekend/week served as our Spring Break trip for the year. I was a bit apprehensive about climbing as I hadn’t really been able to test out my rehabbed arm prior to the […]
