A Different Kind of Hard
January 06, 2009, 10:22:01 am
That media whore Joe Picalli has his picure in the paper again.

The lovely Victoria Robinson has written a book about us. Now I can refer people straight to the book when they ask me about the relationship between personal risks and parenting instead of having to waste valuable drinking time talking about myself and my attitude to climbing... oh hang on, talking about myself is the main point of drinking time  :shrug:

They should have gone with her choice of title. How much did Joe pay to get his photo in it?
