      i got 21 flights in today and that was enough to start and finish the millenium dome. that was the third time for that building. i'll just keep doing some of these small things till all the crew gets to the base camp.

      carole, you'll be welcome to join us anytime as would any of the other climbers.

                  I have finished the virtual buildings!!!!! The only thing exercise wise today was abs and stairs -- I consider that a day off...but I was determined to get these buildings behind me. I know that smilie says "running" but he looks like he's walking and stepping to me! They need a smilie that climbs stairs!

                  Ok -- tomorrow I start a mountain .... I don't know which mountain yet but "a" mountain.

                  "Buildings Be Gone" -- and they are!! Poof!
