Questions

Last night Ileana and I played the questions game. That's where we take turns asking one question at at time to each other as a way of getting to know each other better. As I said last night, the questions she asked me, and my answers to them, are probably more interesting than most of what I normally write about on here. So hopefully I can remember some of those questions as topics for future posts here.

Question: skydive or bungee jump?

My answer: In reality, neither one. But if I had to choose for the sake of this hypothetical question, I think I'd have to go with skydiving. The idea of jumping off the side of a bridge, putting all my hope on a rubber cord, seems crazy. At least skydiving involves not only the parachute, but an emergency parachute, and you're accompanied by a skydiving instructor. Also, I would hope that being so high up in the air would make it seem more surreal, thus better able to confront, whereas jumping off a bridge the ground comes up at you in the blink of an eye.
