If you ever watched The Amazing Race, you'd know about the usual tasks and roadblocks. Contestants sometimes are asked to climb incredible heights and then cross planks to get to another location.
Well, guess what I did today. Yup. Five stories in the air. You know those ladders you see in the circus, the ones that the trapeze artistes use to get to their swings? They go straight up, up, up and it takes them forever to reach their seats way, way up there?
Uh huh. That's how I felt today. Trapeze artiste extraordinaire. Except that I had a hard hat and a tool belt on. Then I walked across these planks in mid-air (with no balancing umbrella). I also leaned over a lot. I discovered that climbing down was a lot more difficult than climbing up because I had to look DOWN. You know, bungee jumping doesn't look so scary after all.
You know this adventure is going to be in a commando scene in a future book. And the heroine would look a lot cooler than my dusty, paint-speckled (there were painters spraying the floors as I climbed up), grimy and windblown state today, for sure.
Lisa, didn't you try to bribe me with a foot massage for a read of Virtually Hers? Your offer sounds more and more tempting everyday.

I'm coming!! I'll be right there Jenn! LOL! I wish I could help you my friend. I would if I could. Maybe you could bribe me to come for Fla for let's say...hum...Jed??
;-)
Lisa,
Hmm...a foot massage for Jed. If only he knew his value ;-).
Hmm... I never knew that climbing a ladder could be so complicated. I think you just gave me another lesson on Physics mainly Kinematics and Dynamics.
Oh and I am thinking since Cleo is away for a few days, should we do something with Cumber, so when she comes back she'll be horrified. Jenn you could issue a contest and the winner could get Cumber or Heath for a whole week. That would be sooooo much fun!
Cara
Cara,
Are you trying to get me in trouble with Lady Zannah????! You know she'll whoop your ass in the next chat if you steal her Cumber ;-). Besides, you don't really want him, you instigator.
