Why I skipped Christmas lunch...

[sawyl]

Not much to say on the climbing front, although we both cleaned a couple of things off our respective project lists. I think we're rapidly approaching the point where we need to switch to leading or bouldering to get a bit more variety — I think I've only got a couple of 6bs and a 6c to finish at the moment.

Me:	[ having just done a tricky 6b ] Are you going to do this? I think you should. It's not as nasty as it looks. [ pauses to think for a moment ] OK, it is as nasty as it looks. But it's good to try new things. [ determined ] You should definitely give it a go!
R:	No!
Me:	[ immediately capitulating ] OK. Fair enough. What do you want to do next?
R:	See that's why I love arguing with you: I always get my own way!

I wonder if I ought to get her an XKCD sudo t-shirt for Christmas?
