I have read a number if your posts, and many parts of them resonate with my own experiences. I am sure I'll follow your posts from now on, and you've inspired me to start another blog (my others have gone dormant), perhaps with a skydiving focus. Although I have recounted the story of my first jump to many people, I've never (well, that I remember now) put it in writing - might be a fun thing to do (and if I do, remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery).Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808997838431607040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-63211560742618737412011-06-12T16:32:21.301-07:002011-06-12T16:32:21.301-07:00Part of me is intensely jealous.

So it's probably best that I stopped. I love reading your stories about it, though!Braggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252719085678735035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-79692220682966663002011-06-11T14:37:39.921-07:002011-06-11T14:37:39.921-07:00You sure have my admiration!
