So, she bundled us into the bathtub and lifted the pot of chamomile tea. And we screamed. I think she must have missed the part about letting the chamomile tea cool down. To this day the smell of chamomile makes my scalp tingle. In any event, I try to keep my nose out of my climbing shoes. Keeping a second pair and rotating them helps too. You might speak to Ed Keller, aka the Imelda Marcos of climbing shoes. Perhaps it takes a Recovering Installation Artist, like Yours Truly, to truly appreciate the neat rows of shoes he lays out on the floor whenever we climb. Your blog, dearest Marie, is a joy.
