Today From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor If I look at a picture of someone sitting on the edge of a cliff for long enough, I actually have to grab on to my desk or put both feet on the floor. I've thought about this sorta stuff so much that I can't fall asleep at night for a long time. And when I do...nightmares! What Are You Afraid Of? My grandmother died when I was really young. I understood enough to know that when you died, you got buried, so I imagined her in a box under the ground. Just waiting. I'm a grown up now (of sorts) and still sometimes think of it that way.

I'll Just Start Panicking Now Is This The Tornado To Oz? Yeah, Nope! My fear of spiders is so great that, at this point, I've accepted the fact one will eat me.

I'm not exactly sure how I envision this scenario actually happening, but based on long thoughts about it, there will be a dinosaur in the park by my apartment. In fact (I'm not making this up), I just spent 10 minutes figuring out which way to go should a T-Rex appear while I was in the park. Sigh, I'm Bob, the dinosaur snack. The scariest dinosaurs ever!
