From Michael:

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

I had a chance to meet Phillip Petit (the tight rope walker) at a Guild
conference where he was the keynote. After his mind boggling talk someone
asked "What do you think makes you do such dangerous things?"

Phillip answered "If they were dangerous, I would not do them!"

In his words "It's all in the preparation of your equipment and your mind.
If they aren't all in top working condition...then it's dangerous. My job is
to always make sure everything is working perfectly so it isn't."

Seemed like good advice to me.

Rudy
