When I was maybe ten years old, I asked my dad what it felt like to be a grown up. He considered it, and then said something to the effect of, “You feel the same inside, you’re just taller.” It both relieved and disturbed me at the time, and still does now that I understand…
The experience: On the elevator ride up 69 floors, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My amusement-park-loving mind had me envisioning an I-beam that swung out to suspend me over the edge, like the X-Scream ride at the top of the Strat Hotel in Las Vegas. But this is much, much tamer than that. The…

The rubber balloon has worn many hats since it was invented 200 years ago. It has been used to spruce up birthday parties and political rallies, operate flying machines and open arteries. The fictional killer clown Pennywise used one to lure in his child victims; some expectant parents deploy them to reveal their unborn child’s…
