My friend Dana who is in the show with me invited me and my partner-in-crime, Deb, to do the Grouse Grind, a legendary Mountain Climb early this morning. So after a night of opening-night drinking, off it was to walk up a mountain. Didn't see supposed Grind regular Patrick Stewart(currently in town filming X-Men3) or any of the Vancouver Canucks, who apparently have the Grind as part of their training regime. Man, wotta hike. Definitely one hell of a workout...although it was at times a bit ego-destroying to be passed by Norweigan women in their 60's.
Getting to the top felt so fantastic...I did it in just under and hour. Very respectable time, and I bet that after a night of non-drinking I could push 45 minutes...around the same time as some guy in his 70's named Jack, who is some sort of superman.
Here's an image I downloaded of the Grind so you get a bit of an idea...it looks pretty flat but I would say 3/4 of the trail is seriously vertical.
Naptime.

What are you talking about? I saw Patrick Stewart. We had a nice chat.
