I think about these things ...

once i was on this ridge in Northern BC - and i wasn't sure if i could go on or ... then an eagle soared BELOW me between some jagged peaks ... I stopped for a snack to collect myself - I tried to think of the most positive thing i could - it was nearly 3PM so I thought "If I fall my blood soaked crumpled body will only be on the rocks for a couple of hours before the helicopter comes for me - the animals won't even have time to scavenge me" was the best i could come up with.

I recall visiting a castle in Germany, following the crowd as they walked up a very narrow spiral staircase and not wondering why nobody was coming down it. Finding myself on the roof of the castle, and that the exit was about 20M away (down another spiral staircase) I crawled on my hands and knees to reach it and didn't give a hoot that  two dozen or so people were watchinng my antics.

Yes, and my hands have just broken out into a sweat as I relive it.

A man has to do what a man has to do.
Even if it isn't all that manly....

You weren't wearing laderhosen (sp?) at the time were you??

I no longer recall what sort of brown trousers I was wearing.
