I don't think you know/understand who you are talking to Luke.
Mat is like 'the mat'. he is climbing partner extrordinare. He is a great belayer, companion, camper, hiker, never ever whines...well....perhaps somtimes. (I do remember some episodes while there were workers outside his bedroom pounding at an early hour). Mat is the best buddy anyone could ask for. He enjoys beers, good chats, and woodstoves.
And, he's been around the block a few times. we've been climbing with him for what seems like forever, and when he says 'suck it up buttercup'....he says it with the typical cynical, sarcastic grin that we all love with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other!
heheh. you'll meet him this summer when he comes home.

The phrase "working mother" is redundant. ~Jane Sellman
If a husband speaks in the woods, and his wife is not there to hear him...is he still wrong?
