And thanks for the encouragement to attempt the re-post. I hope to not have to deal with that nonsense again.<BR/><BR/>tori - YES, I plan on hiking it again! I want to make it a regular thing. Perhaps we could hike together, me and you and our girls?<BR/><BR/>ew - I hope your knee feels better! <BR/><BR/>wendy - thank you!<BR/><BR/>lyle - I think the trailmarkers are new -- maybe since the fire in 2001 (info from nienie, if memory serves). <BR/><BR/>azu'car - yes. always. <BR/><BR/>bek - YES for lunch! I think you'll be here on my <I>actual</I> birthday...<BR/><BR/>cj - I hope they'll remember. I think they will. And of <I>course</I> I'll have you. I do so love to check 'to do' items off of a list! <BR/><BR/>julie - thank you. And, yes, I had forgotten about what being in a village must mean for raising children...<BR/><BR/>cari - you should go hike it! Do! Do! I mean, after the snow goes away, of course. <BR/><BR/>mom - it would most certainly NOT cure your knees. Do not attempt this hike. We can go on other hikes for your knees' sake. <BR/><BR/>april - yes, yes you DO need to hike the Y. And afterwards, we can go to Bombay House. <BR/><BR/>Queen - I know I can trust your recommendations, as I gather that a woman such as yourself has nothing less than impeccable taste! And I know how much you love your yummy Indian food!<BR/><BR/>meta - thank you! I've thought about the timp hike...and by though about I mean tried to NOT think about. Because I know it would be hard. And I really want to do it. And I know it would take a while for me to get in shape enough to do it. And I really REALLY want to do it. And I'm afraid I'll get addicted. *sigh* Maybe when the day is right, you could be my trail guide. <BR/><BR/>natalie - you got it. Another date. <BR/><BR/>emily - thank you! It's clear you love the hike; any chance you'll be near here soon to hike it?<BR/><BR/>pf10 - Do the hike and take the kids! <I>Empty orchestra</I> is merely the literal translation of the word 'karaoke'. (Thank you, Japanese couple on the flight home from Boston 13 years ago!) I <I> do</I> know how to play the guitar, and I even have one, but the one to which I'm referring is an acoustic electric bass (I sold my old bass and amp about 8 or 9 years ago). And as for my kids...they RARELY sleep in, but most especially NOT on a day when I promised them we'd go hiking!<BR/><BR/>geo - Thank you, you lovely, lovely lady! But don't die, not even from a permasmile. <BR/><BR/>sue - I can seldom get Li'l ~j. to NOT make that face.

My 6yr old wants to hike it too and I've been giving her the NO treatment, but maybe now I'll consider it. <BR/>Your girls are so pretty, they sure do know how to work the camera!<BR/><BR/>-I haven't been to Bombay House but I've heard lots of good things about it. I'm supposed to try the rose milk.<BR/><BR/>-Tepanyaki is one of my fav places to go. My MIL gave me a gift certificate to go there, YUM!! There is a new tepanyaki style restaurant up next to Golden Corral called SAKURA (with the a's upside down) that was new and clean and simply lovely. <BR/><BR/>-I don't know what you mean by "empty orchestra" so I can't comment. However, karaoke rocks!<BR/><BR/>-I have a friend who is teaching herself the guitar with the help of an instruction manual and CD. She's doing great. Do you already know how to play?<BR/><BR/>-I have no doubt that you will be officially published one day. I bet you'll have a compilation of all of your blogs in book form one day!<BR/><BR/>I just have one question....What was Lil~j doing up at 7am on a Saturday morning? Doesn't she like to sleep in????pflower10https://www.blogger.com/profile/04200159039339534493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-538350492385019692007-03-27T23:45:00.000-06:002007-03-27T23:45:00.000-06:00Oh the Y is one of my favorite places on this plan...Oh the Y is one of my favorite places on this planet. it's perfect in every way--perfect degree of difficulty, perfect length, perfect view from the top, and a perfect sense of achievement when it's over. wish we had even a hint of a hill to walk up here in texas--i sure miss the mountains.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-42247091824867167392007-03-27T19:36:00.000-06:002007-03-27T19:36:00.000-06:00i'll join you for tepanyaki any time!great job on ...i'll join you for tepanyaki any time!<BR/>great job on hiking the Y, we haven't done it in a long time.{natalie}https://www.blogger.com/profile/04856091446572200477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13871850.post-62716572803064021912007-03-27T19:18:00.000-06:002007-03-27T19:18:00.000-06:00My favorite line is, "A village is a place where t...My favorite line is, "A village is a place where they don't have ANYTHING.
