And people think I’m crazy.

Okay, so more than one person thinks I’m a little crazy for getting in the car, with no notice, and driving to Seattle.

I’m reading All I really Need to Know I learned In Kindergarden by Robert Fulghum. (who lives in Seattle..) In it there is the story of Larry Walters, a guy who lived in Los Angeles who one day decided to tie 45 helium filled weather ballons to a lawn chair and go flying.

No, I’m not making this up. So, forgive me when I’m confused that people think I’m a bit crazy for moving to Seattle. I mean I made the necessary preparations, namely getting a map, getting food, liquids, and kitty liter, ensuring that I had the financial resources to make it, and packing a bit of stuff. Compared to Larry I think I might’ve overkilled my planning a bit. Fulghum details Walter’s preparations:

Larry has a parachute on, a CB radio, a six-pack of beer, some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and a BB gun to pop some of the baloons to come down.

So yeah, I’m a little bit nuts, but I like it that way, and besides if you’re not going to have some imagination and follow through on your dreams then what are you doing?

Walters put it best, when he was asked by the press why he did it, he said “You can’t just sit there.”
