Sorry about Fatcat. He can play with Bugs and they can keep each other occupied until we rejoin them. Pardon me, but there seems to be something in my eyes. . .

A strange thing happened to me again tonight and it got me thinking (and I don't like thinking, it makes my brain hurt): I had LASIK done in March of 2000 after many years of wearing observatory-grade glasses. Tonight, after almost four and a half years, as I was getting ready to step in the shower I found myself reaching to my face to take my glasses off. So 'fess up, do you have any ingrained habits that seem to be impossible to wean yourself from? Huh? Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Yes, I think TLML and I are goal-oriented in our skydiving. When we started to get into our hybrids four years ago, we were happy to get within a few feet of one another. Now we're unhappy if we can't turn 4-5-6 points a jump! We still freefly most of our jumps but do plan now and then. Lisa, you will remember how big I was smiling and how stoked I was the first time I backed into a dock with her while she was sitting. Things like that keep jumping fresh for us. Now if I can just figure out a good fallrate for us when she's wearing those damn swoop shorts! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

If you are paying attention to the Weekend Numbers posts, you may have noticed I did not put an entry in the last two, though I usually do. About two weeks ago I noticed a "floater" in my left eye that was quite large and bothersome. I made an appointment with the surgeon who did LASIK on me 4 years ago as quickly as possible. I had that appointment today. I got bad news and good news. The bad? As I had feared, I have a tear in the retina of my left eye. Two tears actually, explaining the second floater I noticed the day before yesterday. The good news is very good -- I am scheduled for argon laser surgery tomorrow afternoon to repair both the tears and the weak area around them. My recovery should be short and complete. I will be able to resume jumping the weekend of the 17th. Not all that many years ago, all I would have had been able to look forward to is decreasing vision and disability, but thanks to lasers and advances in their use, this is but a minor glitch along the long road of life. I feel like hugging a researcher. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Chris, Wish there was something I could add to the sentiments expressed up to this point, but I'm at a loss. Keep your wits together and keep one thing in mind, you've already made 8 more skydives than most of the world's population ever will. You may be forced into retirement, but in your heart you are a skydiver. And you can take that to the bank. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Val, I love you but on this point you have no clue. Men and women think of many things in ways that are totally alien to one another. Yes, there are exceptions but in general its as if we are different species. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
