it's not rocket science, but it's important

i've confronted a lot of fears lately. a lot of fears i actually didn't know i had to begin with until after the fact.

just this week, i got licked for an audience, rode my bicycle naked in front of thousands of people, and rode a high rail bicycle at the science center with only a socially awkward science nerd named dylan around to save me should i fall.

so far, i've felt great after each conquer. three for three. not bad, i'd say. crossing my fingers that this pattern continues because soon i have to address some trickier, messier fears. and...i'm scared.

today i saw an axolotl for the first time. it looked like a gremlin. volunteering at the science center= getting free passes, watching imax movies and eating popcorn, unlimited free fountain soda, and sitting in giant chairs. a beautiful symbiotic relationship.
