Deuce 1 #1 April 7, 2004 Yeah! My skybirthday! On my first skydive I landed a mile from the dropzone amidst a herd of cows. Today, after much gnashing of teeth my Ex (yeah!) employer finally bit the bullet and fired me. First time in my life I've been fired. It's liberating. I can credit being fired to doing my job well. Whistleblowing pays. Exactly $800 a month in unemployment. Gotta go. Got a world record to break.

flyangel2 2 #2 April 7, 2004 OH sweetie, sorry about the job. But great on the skybirthday. I'll see ya soon to give you a real hug while we're setting a new world record.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #3 April 7, 2004 Go you! Deuce, it's been a rocky year, hasn't it? Hope this year is better, with less heartburn.

Deuce 1 #7 April 7, 2004 I'm not upset anymore. I have a nice thorazine drip to keep me from getting excited. Onward and onward. The thrill and danger of being an executive level bureaucrat was just too much, anyway. This whole big-way skydiving thing is much less stressfull. Except for Gareth. He kind of freaks me out. He keeps wanting to provide childcare on bathnight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
