Of being scared

I had the great honour of speaking at an event last week, into Lloydminster by private plane and back in the evening. I got to sit in the front beside Mark the pilot. All the way to Lloydminster we shared stories of being scared and how we enjoy the process. He as a teenager learning to fly, bungee jumping, and parachuting, and his next challenge to become a stunt pilot. In fact he offered to fly me back to Edmonton upside down if wanted. I told him I'd like to occupy the seat beside him when he becomes a stunt pilot. Now that would be exhilarating.

My scared moments were a bit less intense from his, though he did say what I have done would scare him too. That is of performing in front of a crowd. In my case public speaking, and performing as a singer in the Edmonton Singing Christmas Tree. We did bond on bungee jumping since both of us jumped at WEM.

Here is a photo or two from the 2017 Edmonton Singing Christmas Tree performance. That's me in the tuxedo.
