That's me, flying,


or, rather, trying to keep my balance while the wind blows up, past me, REAL fast. Kari and I went to SkyVentures, to redeem my father's day present, and I tried my hand at indoor skydiving. Harder than it looks. The experts, there, bounced around like ping pong balls, flipping and rolling, in full control. I was in control for awhile... Anyway, it was fun, then we met Ted, had a great sushi lunch, and I saw Prism Seismic, where he works. Pretty cool present. Thanks, kids..

Cool dude...reminds me of 1971..at Columbine airport.... my first and last attempt at sky diving...we missed the landing target by 2 miles and just missed some houses...they had to carry one of the divers out of the field in a stretcher...seems like the pot heads with me were Howie, Mike and ??????? (I knew we shouldn't have been stoned)

I remember that, vaguely. I think I told you it was dangerous and you shouldn't do drugs. But you never listened to me....

What do you know....I once dropped out of a plane in 1968 to impress a guy who was a member of a sky diving team. Will NEVER do it again. I wasn't on drugs, just stupid! I should have been stoned, because the memory of that jump stayed with me for years. Good going Gramps!!!!!!!!

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
