From Stuff.co.nz: Nik Wallenda can’t visit a new place without envisioning a wire strung high above his head: Linking buildings, landmarks, nations. Even as a 6-year-old at Niagara Falls with his parents, he pictured walking a tightrope over the raging, whitewater maw. Now 33, the seventh-generation member of the famed Flying Wallendas, is ready to…
From the New York Times (including some kids’ drawings): The Kids Draw the News assignment to do a drawing about Nik Wallenda’s plan to cross high above Niagara Falls on a tightrope Friday night drew a bunch of lovely submissions. Some of them are in the slide show above.
Once again I apologize for dropping off the face of the earth after the Nik Wallenda walk. It’s not that there wasn’t anything to write about. It’s that the Tuesday before the walk we got the keys to our new house, and we’ve been busy for a few weeks and things are finally settling down….

I am in the process of moving, so I’m terribly busy when I get home from work. Unfortunately, the timing of the Nik Wallenda walk means that I haven’t (and probably won’t) have time to write anything substantial about it until next week. Stay tuned…
@theREALrkubiak I was actually thinking about that during the broadcast. I'll try to get around to it in the next week or so. in reply to theREALrkubiak #
@pablorenoir I don't think that's fair. He didn't need and didn't want it. It was forced on him. in reply to pablorenoir # I'll also try to post a couple of screenshots # Well, that's all for tonight. It was a great show. I know a few people who were there tonight, so I'll try…
We just passed this event a week ago, so I figured I’d mention it. It happened on June 7, 1939 From American Heritage: King George VI and Queen Elizabeth cross over from Canada to Niagara Falls, New York, becoming the first British monarchs to visit the United States.
