It was time to be moving on from Verona. Our wonderful hosts were in the throes of selling their house. An open house was scheduled for the weekend and unexpected potential buyers were calling up the real estate agents and asking for spontaneous visits. Our trailer, although beautiful and shiny, was partially parked on the [...] 
It’s always interesting when I stumble across something in my belongings that I haven’t seen or read in years. Today, I found all my skydiving logbooks, and of course, I had to glance back through them all. To my surprise, I discovered that at the end of my 2nd full logbook, I had tabulated the [...] 
Our intention this weekend wasn’t to jump out of planes, but rather to visit with our dear friends south of the border in New York state. However, we dare not travel without our skydiving gear in case an opportune moment arises and we’re able to leap like the lemmings that we are! Mike Maly was [...] 
What a gorgeous calm sunny day at Skydive Dallas! Only a hint of wind flip-flopped the windsock on the massive green fields of emptiness. Before darting northbound to Illinois, slaDE and I managed to make 2 skydives before continuing onwards with our trek. Fabulous and frivolous sit jumps that had me giddy with excitement at [...] 
Driving north to Canada is usually a straight forward decision once the threat of snow is not an issue. Diversions were the last thing on my mind for this trip (although snow was still a factor for many places), but a sudden set of catastrophic tornados has been sweeping across the southeastern states, in direct [...] 
The desire for adventure and travel has seemingly always been within me, and Airstream living is a perfect match for me, for us. I feel most alive when travelling, discovering new places, different foods and more often than not , new friendships and communities. The nature of travel is forward motion … changing locations, and [...] 
It’s been a pretty ‘dry’ winter for skydiving for me. Perhaps about 40 jumps in total over 5 months between Florida, Belize and Texas. You’d think that with ALL the gorgeous weather and cheap skydives (cheaper than Canada for sure!), I’d have stockpiled many a jump. However, sadly that has not been my reality. More [...] 
I’ve packed and jumped parachutes for an awfully long time … almost half of my life, and I’ve made my share of misjudgements. Today was one such occasion. I’m wanting to reinvent my style in the sky, so I thought I’d go for a solo stiffly jump, reacquainting myself with the basics of body flight. [...] 
Today was another hot day in Texas, with the temperatures soaring high above 80 degrees fahrenheit. When I awoke this morning, the skies were absolutely clear and the wind was calm. A complete opposite forecast from my weather research of yesterday. I was thrilled at the prospect of jumping the demo canopy Lescek had lent [...] 
Windy, tempestuous days at Skydive Houston. It feels like the whole Winter has been winded out here in Texas, and hence not much jumping has been going on. This equates to a bunch of bored skydivers. What does one do?? Below is a pictorial of some our activities and antics during the off-peak jumping times. [...] |
