Okay, so more than one person thinks I’m a little crazy for getting in the car, with no notice, and driving to Seattle.<\/p>\n
I’m reading All I really Need to Know I learned In Kindergarden<\/a> by Robert Fulghum. (who lives in Seattle..) In it there is the story of Larry Walters<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n 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:<\/p>\n 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n 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?<\/p>\n Walters put it best, when he was asked by the press why he did it, he said “You can’t just sit there.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, so more than one person thinks I’m a little crazy for getting in the car, with no notice, and driving to Seattle.
