So last night we went over to some church friends' house for dinner. Their son was hitting a tennis ball against the garage when we got there and after a few minutes he came in and told his mom that the tennis ball was stuck on the roof (in the gutter). I offered to go get it for him if he wanted it. So I climbed up the fence and up to the roof, got the two tennis balls down and jumped down. Seeing how quickly I got the balls down, the mom asked if I could get something out of the gutter in the backyard. Something was keeping her up at night because it would constantly roll back and forth in the wind. So I went ahead and climbed up onto the roof again and proceeded to pull out 5 wiffle balls and some other objects. After jumping down a second time from the roof, I was actually happy to report that neither of the 2 jumps from the 10-12 foot roof hurt one bit. I used to jump from high places (roofs, trees, cliffs, boulders) all the time growing up but it had been a couple years since I have jumped from that height. So my ankles and knees are still doing ok. I may still have some hope yet for developing a Parkour hobby.
