Climbing a tree everyday

DAY 19910.20.07TREE 122
Everytime I drive down I-65 through downtown Louisville I see all these big, nice trees poking up from in-between the buildings.  They always look so promising but I never have tried to get to them.  Well, since I waited till dark, I thought tonight would be perfect to climb one of those and [...]

DAY 19810.19.07TREE 121
With the leaves finally ( and quickly) turning to the beautiful warm fall colors I wanted to climb a tree at the Mount.  I am lucky that I am still here and can do so easily.  I walked passed the labyrinth through the woods.  I wanted a tall tree so I could get [...]

DAY 19710.18.07TREE 120
Tonight I scheduled dinner and art at Michelle’s in the evening.  I also talked to MaryLiz earlier in the day about helping her move furniture to GoodWill and to Laura’s [Will's ex-girlfriend] apartment.  It all worked out that I could help MaryLiz, then go to Michelle’s.  Brigitte [writer from Switzerland], a resident at [...]

DAY 19610.17.07TREE 118 & 119
This time I waited for Emily to show and she did.  I helped her unpack and get situated, then I headed into Louisville to eat and climb.  As I drove in on I-64 I was debating where to climb.  I thought about trying to go to a part of Cherokee Park [...]

DAY 19510.16.07TREE 117
I waited again, but this time it was for someone to show up to the house.  Emily Butler, the woman taking my job here at MACA, was supposed to arrive this afternoon.  She was going to need help bringing stuff in so I waited and waited, and it wasn’t until dark when I [...]

DAY 19410.15.07TREE 116
Again, I waited. I have got to stop waiting till dark. I am in a strange place right now. My time here [the Mary Anderson Center] is coming to an end and I don’t think I’m coping well. The real world is coming, parents’ home, job, less time [...]

DAY 19310.14.07TREE 115
Again, I was lucky to be invited to Norman’s for his family Sunday meal.  A warm sunny day with good food and company.  Everyone’s really impressed with Norman’s house. 

It really is amazing what he’s doing all by himself. 
After the meal we headed back to his house and while he gave the [...]

DAY 19210.13.07TREE 114
When I was interviewing for the tree service job, Robert, the owner, told me about a tree climbing championship in Central Park that was being held and recommended I show up.  So I woke up, threw on some clothes and drove downtown to check it out.  I got there around 11am and the [...]

DAY 19110.12.07TREE 113
On my way downtown to go to this show I stopped at U of L to climb a tree.  I had waited all day and by this point it was late and dark.  But I wasn’t supposed to be at the show till about 10 and it was only 8, so I had [...]

DAY 19010.11.07TREE 112
The weather is finally turning cool.  It’s nice to go outside in a hoodie and pants to go find a tree.  And really nice to roam freely to choose a tree.  I am becoming a little more picky in my selection because I want good challenges.  High heights, and good views.  I went [...]
