Friend Austin on unnamed problem at secret
climbing spot.

Times are coming about. Not sure what times, but I suppose its safe to say that they're comin' 'round the bend. We'll start with climbing. As always its coming along quite nicely, lots of bouldering. As the season progresses and winter pretends to fade and then sneaks up with a frosted claw, each day yet brings closer to us in The High Country a sweet smell of spring. Today I got a fresh whiff of just cut grass, sweet and light. The mowers are abound and the days are longer, climbing routes is coming into focus. I have been working on technique and expanding my horizons, next weekend I am headed to the new river gorge for some epic climbing, and then I will be headed back for something called The New River Rendezvous; a climbing party-a-thon involving climbers from all over the east in a place that has rock conducive to all sorts of styles for the hardiest to the moderately lightest of climbers. Should be a blast. I am working on a series of night bouldering photos from the Boone area and hope to get them and an article published in a magazine. We'll see.

Dog out night bouldering

At work things have changed. I have moved positions and will be staying in Boone for another year. I will be handling the SEO (search engine optimization) and Google AdWords (Pay Per Click Advertising) accounts for about 6 companies. It's a daunting task for sure, but I'll be getting paid to learn and practice. I expect that I will come out a very marketable figure.... unless I get overwhelmed. I'm doing a lot of reading and studying, I should be able to wrap my mind around it all. I have a different office, and I am no longer working directly with the riff raff upsatairs, so I am able to get more done and really dive in. A new person will start monday to take over what I no longer will be primarily handling, the appointment and sales stats.
