I'm 44 & hope to keep going for another 20--
I was a high-wire artist from 15 to 25--
I was a painter 60' high with ropes from 22 to 24--
at 31 I fell in love with climbing trees--
at 40 i fell 25' and broke my back on a sidewalk--
at 5 minutes I got up and walked to the truck--
I resumed climbing a week later--my injury allowed
me to climb much more easily than to walk

does anyone know of a list of which states do & don't
require liscencing / certification? my home state of
Massachusetts has no requirements--of course the
customers won't hire anyone who is uninsured
