    You’re telling me you climbed, sailed, PhD’d and damn near died all at once? How the hell are there enough hours in the day? Super impressive

      Honestly, I'd only get to go sailing during the summers when I had a lighter course load. I didn't take off during summers, just went at like 12 credits instead of my normal 20-23, and was able to sail. After classes, before studying or once I was student teaching in the summer/fall of 2019, before office hours, I'd go climbing at an indoor rock climbing place near campus. On Saturdays, my weekend day (Shabbot, didn't study or do classes that day), I'd go climb for like 8 hours or so through the fall winter and spring, as it was too cold to sail on one of the Great Lakes the city I was studying in was on. (don't wanna be more specific for anonymity), or I'd go sailing at the community sailing centre for a few hours then climb an hour with friends before dinner.

      I used to be able to go up a bit under 1 foot per second on a climbing peg board. Ten foot board in 13 seconds. I had abs! I don't anymore. :C I miss them.

          Nah, I haven't been in a while. Between covid, and moving to the middle of nowhere, flatland prairie, there's not a lot of actual rocks to climb, nor are there any indoor climbing places, here.
