athenasbanquet was nice enough to invite me to go climbing again on Wednesday night. I had a blast.
I bumped intobbbsg and watched her climb things that I wasn't even sure were valid routes. Then I met a woman who I was sure was queen_of_wands' taller sister, but she denied knowing the name. Finally, as I was leaving I bumped into my parkour teacher. It was his easy night, when he's not teaching parkour, nor doing gymnastics...
Speaking of that, today was parkour, and as I was warming up I was trying to press into handstand. This older guy came over and started offering suggestions on exercises to help with that. Once I came right side up, I did a double take. He's the teacher's father. And he has 14 years of some level of competitive gymnastics in his background. Makes sense in retrospect.
I was really impressed; he wasn't just there to watch. He had 20 years on everyone else there, but he kept up. Also, it was incredibly cute watching the two of them interact.
