    At first, I thought he was just holding on with his one hand. lol. That was crazy. It gave me chills. Nice camera angles looking down. Yikes!

    I can't believe he didn't have on any head covering. It was around 0 degrees up there

    Going up seems easy. It's the coming down part. :D

    Would have been funny if he dropped his parachute. They should have given him a little dart pistol to shoot at the individual balloons as a back-up plan...to bring him down slowly. I guess, in a worst case scenario, David Blaine would have died and been up there floating around for several days in a pose like a boy just hanging on for a jolly balloon ride. He kept saying he was doing it for his daughter. Next time...how about just buy her a couple of balloons at the fair or something? ;)

    I think David Blaine would make a good Willy Wonka with his bag of tricks.

    Interesting. Very Clinical. But not ordinary either. The Shots were good, but ultimately not all that entertaining.

    No, listen. Here's what we're going to do.

    I'm going to go up in the air on a bunch of balloons so I can see every tree for miles. I'm going to spot the best tree of the bunch, then land.

    We're going to WALK there, yes, walk, and cut it down in the ancient Na-vuh-how way. That's how you pronounce Navajo in their tongue. Anyway, w'ere going to cut it down using fire, pebbles and the skin of an armadillo.

    Then we will debark the tree in the ancient way, with our teeth but only the inceptors because that's what they called incisors.

    We will drag it back on a truh·voy, that's how they say Travois, made skin of exactly fifteen desert hares, which we will trap on the way there.

    Once we get it back, we will wrangle and tie it to the top of the Subaru and take it home.

    When we get it home, we will do the woodwork by hand using your great grandfather's chisels which he got from a traveling Chinaman in 1938.

    Now, I can't help you with what comes next, you have to perfectly shape the 'spirit box' which will also be the frame of the X-Box.

    I ordered a soldering kit and a shattered X-Box on eBay so we can reassemble the "mother" "board" and put it in the 'Spirit Box' X-Box. Now, you're going to do the work while I shake this rattlesnake rattle over the work to bless it.

    Once we're done with that, you will have your own, hand-made CUSTOM Spirit Box X-box! You will appreciate it more and we will have had all of this time together. I can tell you, the best times I had with my dad were working with our hands together.

    Oh, the X-Box came with Electronics Arts Madden NFL 2004. Bonus!!!! Love you!!!!
