Parker just introduced me to the game of handball, which is similar to racquetball (which I play a lot) but played sans tools. A game of simians, if you will. It has a significant learning curve so it'll be some time before I'm capable of offering any sort of challenge to Bob. But for today, after three games, my fingers are about twice their normal diameter and strangely purple. Ice pack time.

Oh and yesterday Cari and I climbed Cabezon, marking the second time in a few days (and ever) that I've re-climbed a mountain. And of course it was again motivated by geocaching. Me == dorkus.

I've actually been getting a lot of exercise and sun since break started. The weather has been excellent and I've been hiking, climbing, or damaging my hands every day so far. And yet I still seem to have the flu. Ironic that I hardly ever get sick and this is the first year I've ever had a flu shot. Oh well. I think tomorrow I'll do nothing at all in the hope of not having a cold when I arrive in Hawai'i Friday afternoon.
