I have got to get focused and start retargeting my energy on some more productive things in my life. Things like eating birthday cake with friends more often. Things like deciding at the last minute to run away for the day to do something fun.
Saturday I went to one of my friends birthday celebration. Usually I see her and her family at karate, a karate function or we will meet up somewhere like Fort Mtn. to spend the day…so this was the first time I had been to their house. After getting a tour of the house from Angie I had to get the “mechanical” tour from her husband. So, while looking at the steel beams that hold the back deck up we got to talking about all manner of things like retargeting companies , repelling, rock climbing, etc.
Next thing I know, I am calling up my friend Mike and we are making plans to go repelling the next day. See, Mike has this awesome tower, made just for rock climbing and repelling.
So, That was the plan for Sunday, let’s go throw ourselves off the side of a really tall tower. The thing is…the minute everyone got to the top…it started POURING down rain. Thunder, Lightening, and a torrential downpour that came out of nowhere so fast that we didn’t even have time to blink.
Now, let me explain something to you. When you have 7 kids and 3 adults all still high in the sky, higher than the treetops and a storm comes in…you have to make some choices. Do you be supportive, or do you duck and run? Yeah, I agree…you duck and run. I knew that if I stayed to be supportive of those still to get their feet back on land that I would melt and then I would cry if I ruined my camera. So, while they took to the task of remarketing their ideas of who would come down next, I ran to the shelter for safety.
The thing about going up…is that you have to get back down. Now, when you are that high up and you have to climb over the edge and you look down, it can be a little terrifying. Add to that a storm brewing, then thunder, the a torrential downpour and it gets even scarier…but, you can’t stay up there forever…
Now, here is the thing about the law of nature. Once we got everyone safely back on the ground and had the gear almost all put away…it quit raining. No matter, we had a blast…but decided our day of adventure wasn’t quite over…but that is a story for another day.
