Stormy vs. The Matterhorn!

Today's weather: Partly cloudy. High of 73 degrees. Tree pollen levels are very high.


I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME. I DON'T GET THE BEST RECEPTION UP HERE.

I'M AT THE BASE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PEAK IN THE ALPS. THE MATTERHORN.

THIS WAS ALL MICHAEL DI GESU'S IDEA. HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT FUN IF I CLIMBED UP THIS GIGANTIC FREAKIN' MOUNTAIN.

YEAH. THANKS FOR THE GREAT SUGGESTION.

IT'S A GOOD THING WE HAVE SUNDAY OFF FROM THE CHALLENGE.

THIS COULD TAKE A WHILE.

  1. Stormy, if the Matterhorn isn't enough of a challenge, try Kilimanjaro! Lots of coffee plantations at the base to give you a caffiene kick start!

  12. At least you won't need oxygen, but don't slip or someone will have to break out the Gorilla Glue again.

  13. Does having a horn really matter?

  14. DL - I bet he hopes so!

    Tamara - We might need the glue by the end of the month anyway. He's been very busy.

    Crowbar! - Some men might think so!

  16. I know it's wrong, and I would never ever do it, but it would kind of be funny to leave him to there...like a troll at the base of the mountain.

  17. Jennifer - Hopefully he'll make it back by Monday.

    Tonja - Ha! I think I'd miss him too much.
