Growing up, one way my father instilled into me a desire to get a good education was forcing me to spend my summers working with him in the family weatherproofing business. For those of you who aren't really sure what a weatherproofer does, let me just say it's not a glorious job. Weatherproofers are the crazy folks who make sure windows don't leak. Windows, most often, on the side of 15-20 story buildings.
Yup, a fear of heights is not allowed in my family.
In fact, I have memories of my father hanging off the wrong side of a scaffold, leaning as far as he could to caulk something with nothing below him but a 20-story drop.
The good news is I'm not really that scared of heights...but I do have a healthy respect for them. That's why I'm not sure I could handle this.
