Re: What?!

Well, yeah. This is me about forty years, and forty pounds ago.
Love your photos of climbing in Turkey.

The secret is in the sideburns?

This is great Marc! Thanks for posting.

Re: The secret is in the sideburns?

Thanks a lot climbandbike. Why do I want to call you Pat?

Well, unfortunately the sideburns are gone. HMMMMM, may be that's why I have lost all my power; we all know what happened to Samson. When he cut off his hair he lost his power. But I still have a big mouth.

Re: The secret is in the sideburns?

Re: The secret is in the sideburns?

I have seen Climbandbike submissions, but I didn't know what your previous screen name had been. I just picked your name out of the blue. Strange! I'll be scratching my head for a few days.

Thanks for the compliment Pat.

Re: We were

Hahahaha, "old and silly." No one had put it so beautifully.
That's the way I feel. Every joint in the body hurts, and I still
hobble around out there.

Re: !

Thank you my friend. I cropped the bottom third of this photo so that my head wouldn't be cut off every time I voted or commented.

Marc...

You look like you're 4'10" tall in this picture! Say it ain't so! No wait, don't tell me. In my mind you are 6'10". Cheers - G-hop.

Re: Marc...

I'm very short but not 4'10". I'm just under 5'5", unless I've shrunk a little the past few years. The photo is taken from below, and as you may know, photos taken from this perspective get foreshortened. I have short legs and long arms for my height.
Hey, I'd rather be 5'5" than 6'10" any day. I've never seen a great climber that tall. The best climbers are between 5'8" to 6'1".
BTW, what's G-hop?
Cheers back,
Marc
