Joe's Valley Post as a Pretext for an Apology

I know, I know. I haven't posted anything in quite some time. I'm terribly sorry. Although nobody has actually formally complained (or really mentioned it at all, for that matter), I know that you are secretly hurt. When I've given unprompted apologies for my lack of blogging activity, you've feigned indifference and, at times, relief. But I'm keenly aware that if I were to scratch through your stolid veneer, I would find a deeply despondent human being. You may comport yourself with a stiff upper lip, but I know you harbor an insatiable craving for my marginally serviceable climbing media. You want to hear about the V6s I've climbed. You need to see photos of Simone lying in the dirt. You must return to Lithic Loafing daily.

Well, fret not, all ye faithful. Spring is here. I have a new pair of climbing shoes. I'm drinking more wine than ever (it's a part of my formal education now). Everything is in place for low-budget spray and self-aggrandizing bullshit. I promise to deliver. 

In the meantime, enjoy these shots that I recently took of some tough kids in Joe's Valley, Utah. I said ENJOY, damn you!
