I really so much wanted to go flying in it. One of the coolest things I ever did was in England, I went gliding. It’s done differently in various locations, but there, they attach this tiny, plane — without any engine — to a GIANT RUBBER BAND and shoot it into the sky. First time, the band broke and I was very lucky I had a great pilot who got me down alive. But me being ME, i did it AGAIN. All you hear in one of those silent plants is the whistling of the wind. Which is surprisingly LOUD. I hear that when you drop by parachute, it’s quieter. Garry did that and he liked it. I think I’d have liked it … but I’d never have gotten out of the plane. The step out into nothing would have killed me first.
With doors, stairways fascinate me. And their portraits too:)

I never thought for a minute I could actually get hurt. Ah youth, eh?

That’s probably why you didn’t get hurt, you weren’t all tensed up.

Good stairways, we just have to be careful we don’t fall down

I won’t go down my deck steps. I also use my stair lift going downstairs. I’m really afraid of falling!
