Here's a good one.

Q: Why don't Philistines eat yogurt?

A: Because they just aren't that into active cultures.

I wrote that joke, and I have already told everyone I know, so now I have to tell you. It came to me on the morning of my second day of rock climbing. Josh took me out to Red Rock for two climbs. What a terrifying sport! I haven't pushed myself that hard mentally or physically in years. It seems a shame that my capacity for fear/self-preservation have gone largely untapped. Moral of the story: Go rock climbing, and eat a good breakfast, good things will come of it.... usually.

A few days ago, we were rolling dice next to some shady building, and Josh saw a loose wire dangling from above. Of course he grabbed it. Immediately, it began pulling him up toward some unknown abyss. I tried to help, I really did, but I lost my grip. If only I had brought chalk!

We are playing a show at the Wasted Space in the Hard Rock this weekend. You should come, it's what Josh would have wanted. Miss you, buddy.
