    well it looks to me like you started at the bottom and were trying to get to the top. Is there a better way to climb a tree? I don't think you would call going from the top to bottom climbing?

    So glad you had a good trip.

    Mimi, that holiday sounds wonderful, glad the two of you had a chance to get away. And is there a right way to climb a tree??!!

    Dear doctor, when you prescribed me corticosteriods for my allergies, don't you think it'd warrant more warning than just "It's something stronger than Zyrtec, just take it and come back in a week."?!?! Whatever Google is telling me about Xepasone is not very comforting...

    I think it is easier to climb the tree on the top side of the arc.
    Did you get a coconut?

    according to my son, the monkey, it's better to power yourself up the underside of the tree because if you slip you land on your feet. I have seen him do it.

    I, on the other hand am not strong enough to do that, I was just aping for a photo. I did not get a coconut there, although we collected them and my nephew opened two up and we ate them at another beach.

    Dear Anonymous Person(s) Far and Wide:

    Quit slamming carbs. Vegetables are carbs. Beans are carbs. Wheatberries are carbs. How about talking about simple vs complex carbs instead? Talk about glycemic load. You're leading the innocent astray.

    So what were you doing wrong on your climb? (Apart from not sending a monkey in the first place?!)

    Brewer found a coconut on the ground and spent the next several days breaking all the hard objects in our hotel room trying to get into it.

    Hmmm, thanks, Mimi, for that new knowledge. I always figured that as long as you scramble up a tree fast enough before a teacher or parent can come give you what for for climbing a tree in your Sunday or school uniform dress, you're gold. But, you seem to be doing it right in the photo though...
