I had the brilliant idea to do the “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones.

Good Lord, I forgot how long that song is.

Over Thanksgiving, I took a random trip from LA to San Francisco for Turkey Dinner with good friends Mike & Jess. From there, I decided to sojourn out to Yosemite on Friday morning for a short climbing trip.

I forgot to A. Check the weather, and B. Check if I had actually brought a sleeping bag and tent.

Fortunately, a group of climbers I met on Friday afternoon let me stay in their tent and had an extra sleeping bag, solving B. Unfortunately, it started hailing around 4:00 while we were on the rock, dropping to 28F or so.

As a result, I caught a pretty bad sinus infection, and am sneezing multicolored fluids lately. I’m always amazed by the colors of mucus that the body can generate.

Camera girl had a very weird way of taking pictures; she would kinda throw the camera out in front of her like a harajuku girl throwing the peace sign. I think she was part of the crawl, but I didn’t ask for fear of getting a camera to the face.
