1. Ever flown in a balloon?
Yes. On a couple of occassions. In Craig once as part of a news story I was doing and then in Crested Butte on a lark in college as well.
2. Ever done something you were so scared off you hid in an attic?
Yes. Well not in an attic. We didn’t really have an attic at the childhood homestead. And I never did something that caused me to run away. However, there are many of these kinds of stories. Over time, as the statute of limitations expires I have begun to share some of them with my mother.
3. Ever built your own vehicle (real or imagined.)
Yes. One fall in my youth me and a child hood friend Clancy made a seiries of go carts that could make it down the hill at East Elementary and run right into traffice at a busy intersection. (see above question) These crafts were quite elaborate, with a body made of old trash cans and wheels from lawn mowers and a pully system to assist in steering.
4. Ever done something that made the headlines
I was once made the Craig Daily Press “Citizen of the Day.” So eat that Lono!
5. Would you rather publish your diary or make a movie on your most embarrassing moment?
Let’s go with the movie. My diary is pretty bizarre and I couldn’t explain it to everyone. A movie is a simple glimpse into my sick, twisted head.
