When I was 6yrs old I tied to pieces of cardboard to my arms, climbed my brick wall in my back yard while my dog was watching, stood up with tears in my eyes as I said good bye to my dog Brandie and my home, then...jumped and flew away as I closed my eyes, only to be ubruptly brought back into reality by the sound and pain of my body hitting the dirt floor underneath me, as my dog Brandie sat back and watched as if she had front row seats.
