Dear Rachel McAdams: Letter Sixty Eight

Saturday May 16, 2009

Dear Rachel,

No matter what you did today it wasn't as cool as what I did, unless you took a flying trapeze class, in which case it was the same as what I did. I took a flying trapeze class.

Basically, the trapeze is like the monkey bars at a jungle gym, only they are moving. So when I tell people I hung upside down by my knees while swinging through the air and got caught by someone on another trapeze, all that means is that I did the exact same thing that we have all done on playgrounds when we were little, and then I reached out my hands and held hands with someone else. The only difference is I was moving, and high up on the air, and strapped into a safety harness, with a big net below me. Actually, when I describe it that way I can't tell if it is any cooler than just playing on a playground.

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
