There are way too many places to eat there! Yummy stuff. Yes!!!! I love having guests!

Yes. I did, as many have said, "the most prude nake skydive ever." It was cold. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Shannon and I still have to talk about that. We're about 3 blocks from Wrigley Field, so it will NOT be during a Cubs game! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Lots of small dzs have teams training for Nationals. Plus, SDC isn't really a "team" dz (like DeLand and Perris.) There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I'm not even bothering with a car! Woo hoo! Show me the good places!!!! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Congratulations!!!

I moved into my apartment last night!

I love big dzs with a small dz feel to it. It's one reason that I really enjoy SDC. The owners (Melissa and Rook) are out there jumping with anyone that asks. They hang out afterwards. Actually, one of the best parts of SDC is that most people hang out at the dz afterwards. It's a HUGE dz, but everyone knows everyone. I "grew up" on a small dz that shut down. Some of the people that have "raised me" in the sport have their own small dzs and/or in the process of getting their own small dz. My favorite part of small dzs is getting to see my friends live out a dream of starting a dropzone. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

One of my best guy friends has taken me to dinners and shows. Heck no is that a date!!!!! Back in high school one guy took me to dinner and then a play. He thought it was a date. I didn't. I dated him later on, but at that point I wasn't interested nor had any clue he was interested. Just say, "I'd like to take you out on a date sometime."

She'll be like me....a bellyflyer in disguise! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

It looks like I'm definitely stopping on by!

Well, if you're not going, I'm not going! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ummm....I'm glad I could provide entertainment! I think that's why I don't have a beer before eating dinner. It was great meeting you, Fortson!!!!

I had done such a good job of being invisible....I tried to tell them they didn't need to watch that video, but whatever! Now I really wanna see the stills!!! Stop slackin', Ed! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I would never do it. Spending two weeks on a dropzone reassured me of that. It's a great life for some, but it's not for me. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

The highlight of that for me was first trying to drink Corona with a straw, but then deciding it would be better to drink it out of a water bottle. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Well, first you need to convince a DZO and an organizer that the effort is worth their while. How about collecting names of interested, qualified skydivers? I'm sure you have contacts at DZs around the midwest. You'd probably find 40 or so just at SDC and Hinckley. And I could get Val some contacts in my region of some big way advocates and other talent. There's a handful in the NPSL with experience and interest. Woo hoo! Maybe that'll be a goal of mine this year to get done by next year....seek out who could be on it for next year...try to find someone to organize it/design it. So, stupid question time....how many newer jumpers can you have on a 100-way? I imagine that a lot of it comes down to things such as an experienced four-way jumper with tons of tunnel time, a good track and some experience with 30-40 ways would probably do alright on a 100-way. However, since people in the Midwest generally have to travel for 100-ways, what kind of experience is acceptable? I guess that's the scariest part....not really knowing if someone is qualified! I wonder how many people that travel around would travel to the Midwest next year for a big-way event. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Fear really will get you to do incredible things!!! People on the opposite landing area were surprised to see me! I also liked having a Rig Boy. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

This is why I don't have kids. I have nephews! Everyone wants to hear about my nephews! I just ranted about this a few days ago. People constantly send out mass emails to the company saying, "Little Johnny is selling candy for his baseball team. Come to the second floor to buy some!" Luckily, the vending machine is closer and cheaper. However, I don't send out a mass email about, "Hey, I'm going to the bars after work for a drink. Stop by and give me money so I can enjoy this experience better." There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

I've changed my mind, Bill! I think this is a really cool thing! If I start believing that there's some sort of voodoo going on instead of physics, maybe I really can find a way to get my parachute to pack itself.... Also, there's already an experiment set up to try to prove supernatural stuff: http://www.randi.org/research/index.html It also makes it much easier for people to not have to worry about the beginning of time if we're already told what it is.
