Woody 一通電話打算到南橫享受山岳之美,我想說練練體力也好,簡單準備一下輕裝就搭上 11:15 的統聯由台北殺到屏東,二人再開車直上南橫公路,到達玉山國家公園距天池約 5 公里的地方已經晚上快 10 點了,馬上準備紮營過夜。這兒並不是露營區而是南橫公路上一個小的休息點,有個漂亮的廁所和一個小涼亭,於是就這樣在了無人煙的路邊,頂著單薄的睡袋加上半夜的大雨在帳篷裡度過一夜。
隔日一早燒了鍋開水泡杯三合一,再加上二片吐司稍微填了肚子就直奔登山口。由以往跟這小子野遊的經驗,管他出什麼主意,我左腳讓他都沒問題,所以這次一點準備也沒有就開始上山。哪知這回可踢到鐵板,第一段的 600 公尺就累得我髒話都罵不出來,加上前一天坐了約九個鐘頭的車、晚上又沒睡好,身心俱疲下就只有"萬念俱灰"能形容我當時的感覺。接下來也許是已經適應及調整好呼吸與步伐、比較好過一點,但還是很痛苦的才走到標高 3000 米的登山木屋,這一段 1.8 公里的山路竟花了快 3 個小時才完成。稍事休息後,我們繼續往庫哈諾辛山進發,雖然也只有 1.7 KM 而且坡度不那麼陡,但我真他馬的連滾帶爬才抵達山頂,就這樣毫無準備的情況下完成了我人生中的第一座百岳!
回程更是百般波折,我竟然把背包留在山上 ..... XD ..... 以我當時的體力已經沒力氣再上山找了,Woody 真是夠意思,二話不說竟然又花了 2 個鐘頭走個 3 公里多幫我把背包找了回來,真是太感人了。也沒想到這個昔日的肉腳,買了台跑步機後竟然體力練得這麼好,看樣子我也該考慮弄一台來練練了。而這樣一耽擱,下山一半天就黑了,我們只好靠著微弱的手電筒硬是在山裏轉,好不容易撐著回到登山口時我們已經累到趴,真的有如獲新生的感覺。晚上撐著疲累的身軀在大關山隧道附近的埡口山莊過了一夜,隔天也取消預定要爬的塔關山、打道回府,結束了這段痛苦之旅。
P.S. Woody 的 mail 是這樣寫的,哪ㄟ災變成爬百岳 ..... Orz ....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
臨時決定休息三天,因此想去南橫爬山,預計11/26晚上,或11/27清晨出發。這三座山的難度並不高,屬於初級登山路線,全部以輕裝攻頂,不需背重裝,晚上就住梅山山莊及啞口山莊。如果你也想去的話就下來吧!

Nike commercial, featuring Maddux & Glavine
Will Tom Glavine go back to Atlanta?
This 1999 commercial showed the hitting fanatic at that time while Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa displayed the magnificence of power hitting. Ironically, the recent steroid and performance enhance drug issues just destryed this illusion. However, this ad is still fun and bring back the good old days to all Braves fans.
According to year 2004 ESPN's 25th year special topic, this ad was selected as #10 by ESPN25's Expert Panel and #7 by ESPN.com SportsNation users from the BEST SPORTS COMMERCIALS OF THE LAST 25 YEARS.
If you were interesting to the sports commercials, one article from Jon_Mano's Blog talked over this topic also. Lebron James, Mean Joe and Bob Uecker reviewed the best sports commercials at Dec 19, 2005.

Evil Empire Jr. |
Red Sox appear primed for a Yankees-like offseason
If the Red Sox are trying to be the Anti-Yankees, then they are doing a poor job.
折騰了老半天,結果松坂大輔可能落腳紅襪,Holly cow ... $51.1M入札金!雖然紅襪也有可能最後放棄與松坂簽約,但可能性應該不高,因為這不但牽涉到 MLB 與 NPB 的默契,也關係到紅襪球團的信用問題;anyway, 最多30天我們就知道了。而最諷刺的是,不管紅襪宣稱自己是多麼地精打細算與周詳計畫,但不可否認的,他們離洋基又近了一步,不只是實力,球隊的交易與經營也更接近了他們為對手取的綽號 "Evil Empire"。
引 Sports Illustrated 第一段,全文請點閱連結。
We are not the Yankees, the Red Sox keep saying. They are the Evil Empire. We are trying to win the right way. They spend wildly and, quite often, recklessly. We are about financial discipline and building for the future.
No, the Yankees are something else entirely, the Sox insist. But to the rest of us?
Well, if the Sox aren't the Yankees, they're not that far off.
