He's toooo important and this balloon idea was too risky both for him and for us.

It must have been very hard for him to even climb into the basket. But, to his credit, "the show must go on" even if it's only 3 meters off the ground. He's a lot braver than I am!<br /><br />KayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683592745518422511.post-85562922087086826572009-09-17T11:04:02.932-07:002009-09-17T11:04:02.932-07:00Ineresting story!

He, however, has many more assets than most of us to still keep him in the "amazing" category ;-).

Betty can attest to the fact that I do not look out the window on take off, landing, or anything in between. :)))Suzanne Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406120263207910654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683592745518422511.post-51465766684797472032009-09-17T10:41:43.356-07:002009-09-17T10:41:43.356-07:00What a strong person to admit to a problem.

Guess I like to see that we are actually "going up!"<br />I'm sure he is never the one to "hang the balloons."<br />All we need is his music!!!<br />And so many thanks, Sue and Berna.<br /><br />LaurieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683592745518422511.post-36454024937324384742009-09-17T09:56:56.162-07:002009-09-17T09:56:56.162-07:00Thank you Sue and Berna.
