Things are getting a bit static. Let's mix it up.

A three quarter moon hung over the low mountains amidst a splatter of twinkling stars in a cloudless sky. On the oposite horizon a large crecent moon was slowly fading into the light of the rising sun. A small fock of threefoots broke cover and scurried across the clearing and disappeared into the brush again, their low warbling cries fading into the dawn. When Seth stood up a tree-hopper bounced up the the branches of the tree near where he had been sitting and shreiked and hooted from the topmost limb. "sorry little fella." he said. As he slung the particle rifle over his shoulder and started up the hill. Ducking under low branches and weaving around stumps and rocks, he reached the top just in time to see a light come on in the cabin and he knew that the old man was just heading out to start up the inverters and check the livestock.

Says the cop, successfully distracting Bill as his pants fall to his ankles. Suddenly, a National Lampoon film crew rounds the corner with floodlights blazing, film rolling. "You claim to be the tampoon of doom, but look! You couldn't plug a Barbie with an applicator like that." the cop, crew and entire studio audience erupt in laughter

It was then, when the pickle-wieht-the-ticket was going down my throat, that I knew: I didn't want a pickle.
“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.”
The movie is Touch the Top of the World. It's broadcasting on A&E this coming Sunday.
About ten years ago I took a blind man named Erik Weihenmayer climbing. We trained for Mt. McKinley (North America's tallest peak) and made it to the top. After a few other climbs, Erik decided that he wanted to climb all the highest peaks in the world and has done that. I settled down and got a job and had a family. Erik wrote a book and sold the rights to A&E.
My character is "Sam".
You can get more info at the A&E site or at touchthetop.com
Thanks for your interest.
