Kabutoyama
Mood:  caffeinated
I'm getting in high gear for training to climb Kilimanjaro. I climbed up Kabutoyama (behind our apartments), back down by a different trail, then back up again and, again, back down today. woo hoo.

Sick Person Story
There WAS a charming wooden merry-go-round in the park near my apartment. I had heard that it was shut down because of some kind of dangerous situation. I thought that someone had decided that it was just too unsafe to have kids sitting on a wooden wheel spinning around. I was very sad to find out the true story this week. It seems that some sick person rigged the merry-go-round not once - but 3 times - so that when a child sat on it the kid could put his/her finger in a hole and 3 kids on 3 different occasions had one of their fingers cut off while spinning around. Good grief. The U.S. really does not have a corner on the market for sickies.
