Jumper

There is a broadcast system in our apartment and the management occasionally gives announcements about events or people selling stuff. Usually we have no idea what is happening or, I can get a sense by catching one or two words. This evening another message came on, but all I could understand was our building number. Since we never know if it is serious or not we debated whether or not we were in danger. We heard movement outside and when J looked out the window there were groups of people standing, looking up at our building, and a fire truck. So we leashed up Louis and went outside too, thinking there was a fire or something. Lo and behold someone was up on the seventeenth floor hanging out the window, trying to jump out. Clearly there were people up there with him trying to pull him back in because every now and then we'd see him jerking in and out the window like he was being tugged. It was very dramatic. The area was taped off, there were people blowing up a huge mattress and cutting down the trees and bushes. It was quite dramatic. Not long after we got out there, the people up there were able to pull him back in, but he had a couple good leans that made me catch my breath.

On a brighter note, I glimpsed a photo of Will Smith during my monthly browse of people.com and realized there is a MEN IN BLACK 3 being made as we speak! Hallelujah. My prayers have finally been answered.
