Thanks, and yes, weathered out but not dampened! The vampire bit deep.

Thanks, Pops! I proffer a googolplex of thanks for your kindly communique. Sorry in advance for any stupid questions I might ask! I take full responsibility for not knowing squat!

I've only spoken with Michael so far. I'll let you know once I begin, sometime in May I think.

More bad publicity for Detroit ... just what the city needs! And the sex and lies are only the tip of the iceberg ...

Thanks for your replies! Bodypilot1 - That's a definite possibility at some point in the future. Noticed you're based in CA - I've spent quite a bit of time in Sacramento. I've got to support MI DZs and instructors during my A-License, though! Chubba - I've been devouring every skydiving, base and wingsuit video I can find. Now I'm going to add freeflying to that list. skymama - thanks! And hubba hubba AllisonH - I've been communicating with Wild Wind Skydivers in Saginaw. I'm impressed with the outfit - and everyone I've spoken to about it has a good opinion. Even though Skydive Tecumseh is closer to DET than Wild Wind, I'm planning on the latter ... but maybe we'll bump into each other eventually ... I don't imagine the skydiving community is all that big in MI! (Might be wrong about that ...)

Wonderfully useful site here, thanks to the administrators and everyone posting on it! My name's TC, I'm a 33 year old lawyer living in Detroit, and the longest fall I've taken is a lindy off my garage a few years ago. I've always wanted to fly, however. I literally dream about it most nights. In a perfect world I will manage my fear well enough to someday try BASE, and maybe a wingsuit. I'm angling to begin AFF as soon as the Michigan thermometer breaks the "ball-shrinking-nip-raising cold" mark. Can't wait! Looking forward to mining this website for info during the journey. Thanks in advance to everyone! Blue skies! (Is that the skydiver's fare-thee-well?) - TC
