why don't you volunteer? You could sign up to be a Big Brother or something. Think of all the open minds that you can fill with tainted propaganda!!! Or go for a run.

thanks DMW.....but Big brothers takes committment, and I wasn't looking for that.

so none of you all are ever bored? I guess that is what happens when we don't have kids...I am not complaining, btw. I was just looking to see if anyone else had the obsession so bad that they had no idea how to handle themselves when not climbing.

tutu, ask my wife and you will find that she is "above average" satisfied with what I do around the house....that's good enough for me:)

i used to get wayyyy to antsy and bored but i've gotten a little better. i think having a bike helps as does being too broke to get out as much as i'd like. i'd still rather be climbing and would but i have other stuff now to worry about. i still get bored but i'm able to refocus it, sometimes.

piggie i think you just need to put the gri-gri down, step back quietly, and find something else; IF YOU so desire. there is a lot of really cool stuff out there but until we take off the blinders and drop the "climbing is the ONLY thing" belief we are destined for boredom. being in lex doesn't help i'm sure.

i'd say fishing after careful thought. i love wading through a creek at early morning when it's just me and the racoons and random animals out there. peaceful, zen like, and rewarding in the challange. yes, fishing ain't easy.

when i'm not climbing, i'm thinking about climbing or i'm browsing this website. getting involved in anything other than climbing always ends up costing lots of $$$ (assuming you already have all the gear needed). i have a nice drinking hobby that eats up some time, but costs $$$. i'd ignore the 'having kids' advice as this will only interfere w/ your climbing time and will cost you lots of $$$. then there's sleep. this is handy when you really can't climb and have nothing to do. yea, so what i'm trying to say is there is only sleep & climbing. everything in between is just fluff.
anti, put your blinders back on.

The bordom usually only happens when the weather is too bad to go outside. There's alway somthing to do when the weathers decent. Or some none climbing family of freind relationship that is usually way over due for some one on one time.

Thats all great and all....but I am not a woman
