Fear of Heights and the Trapeze
So, I'm going trapezing this morning at the Trapeze School of New York. Not something I get to say often--actually this is the first time I've ever said that. Did I mention I'm not a big fan of heights? And yet, there's something exhilarating about the idea of swinging through the air on a bar. Will I have to ask someone to push me off that 23-foot platform for the first time (they say they won't on the website)? Will I scream the first time I fly through the air? Yesterday someone asked me if they made you wear helmets. I said no and mumbled something about a safety harness. Wish me luck!

I'll put $5 down betting that you will scream.
heh, let's not forget about how brave you were in Quito, clinging to the crumbling window ledge a mere 10 stories (or was is 12 ...) off the ground?
I'll see your $5, and raise you $5 for peeing in the pants
you're gonna be sore. i loved trapezing there, but it took me a while to realize it's all about timing. have fun!!
Where the heck is that trapeze school? I have to go.
I hope it went well! If you found it even mildly fun then I will be tempted to give it a try--I, too, am not fond of heights...actually it's the fear of falling that practically paralyzes me.
