Another spectacular morning yoga class with 25 people making the effort to attend our 7:30am class. I wasn’t sure how people would respond to the earlier time slot (last year we started at 8am each day). But it seems to be working out just fine, with those who really want their yoga morning fix, making…
An early morning return to Skydive Houston meant that we were ready to jump lots after a miserably cold housebound week, excited at some big way practice (as promised in SDH’s last newsletter). Unfortunately, the coldish temperatures scared the big way organizer off and we were left to our own devices for planning some fun…
Houston was immobilized with an ice storm last night. Freezing rain hammered the city, but not an ounce of snow was to be seen.

Anticipation of bad weather sends the city reeling…

The folks of SDH are hard-core Jagermeister drinkers. Personally, I can’t stand the taste of this liquor … it’s sickly sweet with overtones of liquorice. Ewwww! But the weather was foul and Maniacal Monday was planned. slaDE~ was keen to jump on board. The rules go as such: at 1:11 pm = 1 shot of…
A quiet but windy day at Skydive Burnaby, ending with an incredible sunset that took my breath away. Ho, hum, humid and hot … welcome home to Ontario! We had been quite spoiled living in Calgary. Cowtown summers are divine. Temperate, dry and perfect for skydiving (as long as the wind doesn’t pick up too dramatically)….
