A politician is a person with whose politics you don't agree; if you agree with him he's a statesman.
Here is Ez, bunkering down in a wooden hut at the base of Mount Everest. He's decided to bite the bullet, throw caution to the wind and exercise his new found enthusiasm for climbing and follow in the footsteps of Hillary, only this time sans Sherpas!
In a somewhat amusing anecdote, Ezra actually confused the notion of a Sherpa with sherbet, and actually ate a half dozen when he arrived in Nepal.
We laughed like drains.
Of course, we upset the locals and quickly had to leave the country.
Everest will have to wait.

I am sorry to hear about the aborted attempt at scaling Everest.
Nevertheless, Ez will surely climb up the summit one day.
All we would then want is a photograph of Ez standing at the peak.
[That kind of wordsmithing is how you pick up the chicks.]
Is there a big cash prize?
A fancy ceremony?
Are you covering airfares?
;)
I am not too happy with that...
Hope that Ez one day does climb the peak (if he wants to that is) so that i can boast about knowing the Aussie lad who climbed Everest!
