Back in today; I'm learning to fly; Pink Floyd | treefrogz's Blog

Don't be concerned. I'm not planning to jump off of anything. Done that. It didn't work so hot. When I was about 9, I built a contraption of PVC pipes and black plastic sheeting. Actually I can't remember what I jumped off of now. I think it was more than once because I remember jumping from the house and a few times from the edge of the chicken house roof. I crashed in a heap of pain, plastic and childish grief each time. But after tweaking the design and necessary repairs I tried again.

I think that is the most important thing about life. Keep trying. Keep moving forward. Keep tweaking the design.

Really? Cool. I've seen very few big bands live. But I think that's good. I went home temporarily deaf when I did. ;-)

Probably not Mother. You are just a young thing. Hope you are having a good day.

I tried putting 'wings' on my BMX when I was a kid. Tried flying off the house roof. Fell through the tree and was lucky not to break anything, except the BMX that is. hiehie
