Email from Dad, Part 2, the Empire State Building Stair Climb

If you follow my WW blog, you know that 2 months from today, I am going to do something pretty amazing: Climb the 86 flights of stairs in the Empire State Building!!! I haven't been this excited about something since my first bike tour (the 5 Boro, in 2009). Needless to say, I informed my Dad of my latest fitness adventure, via email. Here is the exchange:

If you want to donate, here is the website. I have to raise $2500 for the privilege of this experience.

How freaking adorable is that?! This not-giving-my-dad-my-cell-phone-number thing has paid off way more than I ever expected. OMG that's so cute and hilarious, I love it! (I'm not sure if he knows he's using "google" wrong - instead of using "email" - or if he does it on purpose. Either way, it makes me laugh out loud.)


Thanks Dad, for making me laugh and believing in me. Even though we all know it was Tommy that made your hair fall out. I was (still am) an angel! *wink*
