When I was about 19, I was at a pool party and kids started jumping into the pool from the roof of the house. I thought they were nuts. Then after about nine Budweisers, I’m suddenly on the roof myself, no turning back now.
I closed my eyes and jumped. Friends told me later my head missed the edge of the pool by two inches. I was a damn fool and lucky to be alive today.
Haha, I was 25 and pulling the same stunt (stupid Navy fighter pilot alert). Sometimes I wonder how I survived. Later, I took care of my parents for many years as their health declined & they eventually passed. It finally came to me — Providence and payback for my misspent youth ;)
