Philippe Petit takes a daring stroll ...

1. I remember that day

I saw Petit in Washington Square Park riding some chest type bicycle-it was an image I'll never forget he was coming right for me with these crazed eyes.

4. Man on Wire -- Yup..great documentary...

I watched it 2 weeks ago..Hilarious and entertaining stuff..Jeane-Pierre (i believe that was his name who walked the wire) is so charismatic even today..no wonder these people followed him.. And i loved the director's way of capturing the fun. Best docu i have seen this year so far.

5. His sentence?

Doing a free show for children in Central Park! Pretty stiff for a first offense!

6. Those were the days! Where has all of our greatness gone?

Maybe I'm just not seeing it.
Gates? I'm not looking forward to this next
president-I was, but not now-he has too many
appointments I don't like.
When will we be free again?
