Michele

Really great choice. Handsome man.... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

ROFL...that one earns 15 on the laugh out loud meter! Yes, there Gabe sits, perched happily on my chest, not a care in the world. His expression says it all! Thanks for posting these, Sinker. Made me go back to TN and have the arms of my friends and those children around me again. Made my heart smile. Hugs to you and yours - and yes, even you, Chris. BTW, Sinker has a good shot of you he told me he'd post....ladies, Chris is a handsome man.... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

My father did a few movies with Charles Bronson...I remember being able to go up to Canada for vacation as my father was working on Death Wish...learned how to ski in Banff, Lake Louise and Sunshine (IIRC...) He was, despite his on-screen persona (and rumors to the contrary), a gentle man, in my experience. He will be missed.

They've never said that to me...matter of fact, I have many times been congratulated on a glorious, big PLF...(maybe I shouldn't be bragging about that! LOL!!!) PLFs are my friend. They have saved me several broken bones...I've had some horrendous landings, one a seriously bad judgment downwinder which resulted in a scraped face, shattered goggles, and several broken toes...but had I not PLF'd, I am certain I would've landed in the hospital.(Downwinder at sunset onto hardpan/part of the runway)... One of the things people don't realize, though, is don't resist it. Relax as you touch down - breathe out - and let yourself roll if you have that speed to bleed off. Don't stick your arm out to stop the roll, or leg out. Keep arms and legs in, and roll it out to a stop. I can't describe the physics of it, but it's a method of spreading the impact energy through the body at a diagonal which will allow the injuries to be minimal. It's a lot like the drunk driver who walks away...it has to do with relaxation and nonresistence. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I agree with ChaosKitty...but if it proves to be impossible, how about writing him a letter and letting him know that you support him and his wife-to-be, and that you will spring for them to visit you when they return from their honeymoon (or something like that?) I think that letting them both know that you love and support them in writing will make it easier for them to understand. Let them know about why, too, so they completely understand. And you're not being whiney nor bland...and I hope you find a way to get it handled so you can be there. In any event, sending you lots of vibes!

Good deal, Sinker....love and hugs to them all for me - even your Mom... How does Gabe like the car? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

That's sharp - for a minivan. A good way to protect the family. How're my babies??? Hugs to them, and to Lori... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Good to know she made it that far, and was welcomed! Thanks, Kris... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Congratulations from me, too... Yay David! And YAY Lisa, too!!! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

You are already! Someday, we will jump together. I promise....either at CalCity (which I need to try) or down at Elsinore... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

A long time ago, you invited me to a picnic... YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO QUIT UNTIL WE GET OUR PICNIC. After that, you can do whatever you want. But you realize this means you'll have to come down to glorious Elsinore and meet me at the picnic tables, right? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Awwwwwwwwwwww. (That's a lynx, correct? or perhaps a Bobcat? not too sure...) I am thoroughly jealous of you. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Yeah, I guess it would. I can see the headline... "Woman Bites Shark in the Skies Above Los Angeles" In the skies above Los Angeles, in a highly unusual occurance, a skydiver took a bite out of a shark. While not a great white shark, this shark is estimated to be nearly 6 feet long, and had thick, cordura-like skin. The woman, who remains unidentified, had this to say about the encounter. "I knew there was a shark which flew the skies over Perris, but never realized there was one in the same area I fly in." "What are the skies coming to", she continued, "when a woman must defend herself against maurading sharks by biting them?" The shark could not be reached for comment. However, he was last seen grinning, sporting a bruise and bragging "Look!! I got another one to bite me!"

Heya, Ed! Great to hear this news. Man, been a long time coming! Welcome home!! How about one of those jumps being a hi clear and pull? Out the door, get stable, and pull? Then really work the canopy - 360s, flats, flare points, stalls, etc...really push that canopy around the sky? And then on another one, just work tracking, nothing else. Track position, heading control, etc...track one way and count to 10, check alti, track back, same deal counting, checking alti... Have a ball tomorrow! Wish I could be doing the same... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Nope, not even a kisspass by Sharkie. Drat and darn! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I am utterly jealous, Ian....I wanna play with that cat!!! My kitties at home make believe they are the great hunters and speedsters Cheetahs are, but they are only pretending. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Well, you go surf...the rest of us will skydive...'ware the great whites cruising the coast... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

I always misread that particular title! However, I don't think I will contribute to the answers...a lady doesn't kiss and tell (even if there is something to tell about!!) Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~

Not real...but funny. Check out the rest of the website...somewhat "Onion-ish"... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
