You often have time to think things through before you put them down on paper. Sometimes though, I have written things and thought, this is beyond bad. But you'll be happy to know that I have been trying new things and loving it. If something embarrassing happens I'll be sure to let you know. But on a more serious note, I am sure that your curiosity has also served you well, and you have learned a lot by simply taking the initiative. Curiosity is one of the ingredients for creativity.

I think I have been living a tame life, need to change that. I do not have any stories to tell from early on. Maybe my shyness has something to do with that.

I wish I could have seen everyone's face when you "bumped" it and the entire wall started coming over. For a second there, I'm sure someone was thinking "this is the smartest idea we've ever had!" And then it went over. :-) Thanks for sharing! Drew, that story is probably even cooler. I wish I could have seen everyone’s face when you “bumped” it and the entire wall started coming over.

We were sent to clean out a room in a building and were not able to see in that room due to a lack of electricity. With an absent foreman, one of the guys suggested I take the Bobcat loader and loosen up a brick on the outer wall of the building to get some sunlight in the room for visibility. I hopped in the Bobcat, bumped the wall with the loader, and the entire side wall of the building collapsed. It was a big enough hole to see from a nearby highway. Our bosses were beyond angry but seeing how I was going back to school the next week anyway,I took all the heat for it. Not as cool as setting an ATM on fire but it's all I've got.
