If All Your Friends.....

I love encountering new ways of looking at the world.  Today I was looking through a bunch of xkcd posts, when one of them in particular piqued my interestWe've all heard the question: "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?"  It's typically put forth as support for not doing something just because your friends are doing it.  The xkcd below made me rethink the normal interpretation:


I guess the quality of your friends really does make the difference. Thanks to all you levelheaded, fun loving, active and wonderful people out there jumping off the bridge with me and for including me when you jump.

"Break a Leg" to the McNeil Theater in the UIL One Act competition on Thursday with "A Flea in Her Ear."  The preview was really fun and fast paced.


I found my legs a bit heavy today during cycle class and the yoga afterward helped stretch tight muscles.  I'm blaming the 2:00 am winds and the 3:00 am hail storm for how sleepy I'm feeling this evening, but I have cycled for the past four days in a row so maybe that is having a bit of an impact too.  
If all my friends jumped off a bridge, I wouldn't jump with them. I'd be at the bottom, hoping to catch them.” Steve Berry, The Paris Vendetta
