I’m not a huge heights guy. I can handle them when faced with them, but I generally do not intentionally seek them out. File today under “not generally.”

In just a few hours, I will be venturing out onto this thing:

I’ve watched several TLC programs on the Grand Canyon Skywalk, so I feel confident in the engineering and the execution of the structure. But now faced with the reality of what I am about to do, I have to admit, I’m feeling nervous – though my anxiety may be a bit misdirected. The odds of anything catastrophic befalling my visit are actually slightly more in my favor than the odds that I will be attacked by a cougar en route while pulling over for some scenic photography. Maino’s dream of having me grapple with a mountain lion just might come to fruition today!
