Live and learn as they say.
In my case I recently learned there is an international stuntmen's school in our area.
No - I won't be attending this year's sessions.
B and I are meeting a young Norwegian relative at the airport tonight - and he is going to this school. He will stay with us until the classes start next Monday August 21st and then move into a dorm with his classmates.
Here are some pictures and articles about the school from the Seattle Post Intelligencer and the Seattle Times.
The International Stuntmen's annual stunt training is intended for those individuals interested in pursuing a career as "stunt performers" or as actors who want to perform his or her own basic stunts.
It sounds like a heck of a lot of fun for a young person who would like to try something out of the ordinary.
