We did the catwalk tonight! Remember the catwalk? No? Oh, you must not have been there with me that day many, many years ago when I was just a kid.
There is a bridge that crosses a fairly large river not too far from our town. It's a very high bridge and under the bridge is a catwalk - a narrow, metal walkway that you can traverse from one end to the other. You are right under the vehicles and way too far away from the raging, freezing river below. Every time a vehicle drives over you, the whole bridge shudders and the sound from the vehicle is amplified so you can't even hear yourself think.
My dad took me across the catwalk when I was a kid and for some reason, I hadn't gotten around to continuing the tradition with my own children until tonight. It was a lot of fun to see it again through their eyes and experience it now as an adult (it's a lot scarier as an adult!!!). I wonder what else I'm forgetting to expose them to? A.
