Pro Football Hall Of Fame

A stop by the football hall of fame and the shrines of 31 Chicago Bears.

Dancing at "Dive Bar"

My mom and dad cutting a rug in Cleveland's West 6th district. This is
the spot to be on weekends.

You'll shoot your eye out!

Today we stopped by the house where they filmed "A Christmas Story".
It was good laughs and quite tempting to pick up a "leg lamp"

I couldn't have said it better...

This is the first sign we saw once arriving in Cleveland:

Training

So I am back to training full time now. 2 - 2.5 hours a day at the gym to get ready for my next adventure. I'm preparing for a 3 day mountaineering trip in the Sierra which, if all goes well, will be Jan. 5th-7th. I need to get some "hands on" time climbing ice and working with snow/rope gear so I can have a better understanding of what tools I would need and/or prefer.

The high altitude coupled with the intense workout mean I have to be in great cardiovascular shape. To measure this I have to administer myself the Harvard Step Test.
I'm looking for a score >90 to feel comfortable. I tried to do it tonight but my heart rate was artificially high because I drank a Monster about 1 hour before hand, not knowing I would be doing the test later. I will try It again this week and post my results.

Lost Coast Video

Here is a low res movie of our trip to the Lost Coast, the good one is on DVD.



Threw this one together in about 2 hours trying out a new program. I didn't think I would be making a vid when i took the pictures so I didn't have a lot of shots to work with. Over all I think it came out decent.
