Without getting into details that will surely upset family members (it really could be told as a hilarious story, though), let’s just say that I was suddenly immersed into family craziness. After doing something as crazy as climbing the via ferrata, the family craziness did not seem as crazy as it would have normally seemed to me. I realized that one reason I do crazy things is that it gives the rest of my crazy, stressful life a semblance of sanity by comparison.
