                                  Ruth; Is too late for us  but   I have a
two year old who I teach balance to  ...I put her on on my narrow work horse
in my shop; park my cigar on the steel bench ; and  hold her hand  to walk
and practice balance.
after some minuets of doing this  I let go  and she walks by herself to get
to me
..I  tell her that this is balance; and it will serve her all her days
..this summer (with momma's permission)
I will stretch a heavy rope between two trees  and as the dogs and  pony
crowd the fence line  we will perform amazing feats  of similar daring.

As I tell most people who work  high and get nervous. Its all about where
your two feet are .. concentrate on that...Michael
