We went down to the International District this weekend and visited the famous Uwajimaya. There I got these most excellent, Muscat Gummy candy. I love the label on the package: “Its translucent color so alluring and taste and aroma so gentle and mellow offer admiring feelings of a graceful lady. Enjoy soft and juicy Kasugai Muscat Gummy.”
Mmmmmmm. Now that I think about it, the texture is quite soft and juicy.

New Climbing Shoes
Well my old La Sportiva climbing shoes have started coming apart, and my feet feel like they have been in a vise everytime I finish climbing in them. They had a clearance sale at REI, so I went over there this afternoon to look for a new pair. (About time since the old ones are over 10 years old). Turns out the La Sportiva Cliff shoes were about the only ones that fit like a glove — and that’s always the criterea that matters most. Can’t wait to try them out tomorrow at Vertical World, maybe I will finally be able to make that 5.8 roof move.

I really need to write more weblog entries, once or twice a month just doesn’t cut it.
