Okay, so, stairs.

I'm signed up- as usual- for the MS Society Climb to the Top 2013, which means that on March 6th I'm going to be in New York City expressly for the purpose of climbing 66 floors' worth of stairs and then not throwing up all over Rockefeller Center. I've also taken the step of signing up for the American Lung Association's Climb for Air, which is on February 2nd this year and happens to be held at Boston Place. That one's forty-one floors. Figured I might as well give it a crack just to see how I was doing training-wise, and also because I like the look I get when I tell people I do stair climbing, and anyway it's right bloody there. The fundraising minimum on that is $100 and I've already kicked in my first $25, because I was at the World Trade Center site for the first two days after 9/11 and I've never felt entirely safe about my lungs since. If I have to, I'll donate the rest of the money as well (I don't want to detract from the MS fundraising, since MS killed my grandma and, well, vengeance). If any of you happen to feel like showing up in the Boston area for the second of February to do the "hooray, Cam didn't throw up" thing, that's cool, I'd love to see you after it's all said and done.

On a completely unrelated note, last night I tried lobster roll for the first time, because I believe I should make at least some kind of effort to try local foods where I can. I keep hearing about them, reading about them, etc. so I figured they were probably a good idea to at least try, whether I liked them or not.

You'd think I would have noticed somewhere along the way that they're served cold.

No offense to Boston but I don't think I'm going to try that again. I'm not that fond of the texture of lobster to begin with- the taste is okay, but the texture's not my thing- and the temperature kinda put me off. The one I got was pretty well made, it's just... yeah. Oh well, some other time perhaps.
