    Yes, but what you might not realize, is I debrief John daily. Wait. That didn't sound right. K, we have 4 kids so obviously I have to debrief him a lot. Wait. That sounds bad too doesn't it. Well, ya know when he gets home from work, I have to tell him all about what's going on. This happens daily. He'll be glad to get debriefed by you I'm sure. Wait. Never mind. You all go out and have a good time now.

    When you come to the Leap for Lupus boogie and propose to Melanie in person, I'll get a picture of you and post that.

    RIP Randy Pausch

    The last lecture was long, but definitely well worth sitting through. You can actually find other lectures that he's done on the web as well. He was an amazing person. He was so young with a wife and small children. His passing is very sad.

    I don't think they are actually going to ban new jumpers from posting. That was just one person's post. I wouldn't worry about it. As for you jumping... Way to go! I applaud your courage and determination. I have lupus and so I experience the arthritis as well. I know how it is to try and jump when every joint and muscle in your body hurts and is inflamed. It's well worth the effort on the good days though! You don't feel the pain in freefall! Are you going to make your next jump an AFF jump or are you going to do another tandem?

    I hope you take up a camera. I want to see how he does up there! You'll do fine teaching him a new trick!

    The fastest faller I've ever had to catch up with. Warm, wonderful person with great hugs. She's kinda partial to the color red too.
  7. vskydiver

    Sadly I don't think I have enough strength to fly one of those wing suits. I can't freefly for the same reason and I can't hold on to the outside of the airplane anymore. I know, I'm kind of a sad excuse for a skydiver. I'm just going to have to live vicariously through you all and enjoy what I can do. I think there are a lot of people that want to try those wing suit! JohnMitchell for one! I'm really excited your bringing them!!
  10. vskydiver
    Me! Yeah! I'm glad you'll be going!! Your added to the list. Anyone else?
  11. vskydiver
    Yeah, I agree. But they are always polite when they meet them.
  12. vskydiver
    Well, the oldest is in Boston going to college and won't be home until Christmas. So.... That probably isn't going to work. Although I'm sure she'd LOVE to meet ya!
  13. vskydiver
    You and skymama could talk about that all day. Yeah, well, I think it's because theyn all have so many prenatal jumps and have been out to the drop zone since before they can remember so they think skydiving is "normal" and a stupid thing old people do.

    If you as the mom look as good as you do... You going to Summerfest? Can you? Go ahead and bring the 19 and 17 year old daughters too. Yeah, what DangerRoo said. Do you know how many guns I carry? So, anyway, no, I'm not going to Summerfest. My oldest daughter thinks our sport is "lame" and my second daughter doesn't want "to get sucked into the vortex that is our cult". So they wouldn't come to Summerfest anyway.

    I hear the flames make you a better skydiver. they make you zip through the sky faster!!!!!! They do! That is why I go so fast. I have Velocity Flames on my rig. We just received 8 (quantity) PARABATIX DVD's from Icarus! http://www.square1.com/manufacturers/square1/p1338.asp Thank you Icarus! These will be added to the prize list of stuff you can win when you buy your raffle tickets.

    Awe! Hugs! I hope you feel better and it turns out to be nothing! Of course then, you'd have gone through all this for nothing. But hey! You'll still have a bitchin scar!

    Knowing Doc...he wouuld be happy to show you NICE! I can't wait to see you guys again!
  18. vskydiver
    Yes, good luck with that! We had all those plans as well. And in fact have carried out showing the boys the guns. They don't care. You just have no clue as to what lay ahead for you. Enjoy your babies now.
  19. vskydiver
    Oh! Thank you! I had them when I was relatively young but aside from that, when my oldest is going into her third year of college you have to realize that I'm really OLD! It's called, sunblock!
  20. vskydiver
    It's not a hobby, it's a career. We're married.
