Major Updates: We are putting up post 116 because we have a few exciting things for you to look at.
- In our album, we have skydiving pictures up. {Un}fortunately, they are only of Caci. You may view them here.
- We have a skydiving video up (being uploaded now). This, too, can be viewed from our gallery.
- We just needed to comment on Jace’s phenomenal advancement. One night, he fell asleep a baby, the next morning he woke a toddler. Wow.
Skydiving Summary: [Trevor] I have two words to describe it:
liberating & exhilarating. I also have two words to describe my relationship with it: I’m addicted. Guys, it was absolutely amazing. I recommend it to everyone. It is one of those life experience you need to have–if not just once. Falling from 13,000 ft to earth is awesome! Gravity rules!
- We jumped from 13,000 ft above ground level.
- Trevor was in free-fall for ~ 70 seconds.
- Caci was in free-fall for ~ 60 seconds.
When you jump from the plane and, essentially, fall to earth, it becomes very peaceful. I looked down, I looked around. I watched the horizon line, I watched the little buildings grow life-size. Nothing but peace and liberation surged through my blood. In fact, I didn’t even attempt victory shouts until I landed–it was too pure. You, the element and exposure. At that moment, you are supremely self-sufficient. Everything you need to not only to survive but thrive is on your back.
Now, I look up–I see the sky. I was there. I’ve been with you. I beat you. I flew with you. Awesome.
When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you always long to return. — Leonardo da Vinci
As always, Caci will comment on the experience. She’ll give you the play-by-play. It works well, she’ll give you whats without, and I, whats within.
Man must rise above the Earth — to the top of the atmosphere and beyond — for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives. — Socrates
The Birth of our iPhone: Seeing how, eventually, you all will have iPhones, I wanted to toss in a moment of excitement captured on-screen.
In an attempt to keep my cell number somewhat private, I’m including it as follows.
Those of you who have my previous number, subtract it (my previous number) from this one:
- 16 0 2 . 10 9 13 . 11 7 14 16
If your arithmetic isn’t too rusty, you should easily get my new number. Give me a call to confirm.
Ending: Closing now, I want to toss in a joke that I think is absolutely hilarious. Caci thinks its hilarious that I think its hilarious. Nonetheless, here goes:
Descartes sat at a bar and ordered a drink. Upon finishing it the bar tender asked, “Would you like another?”
“I think not,” responded Descartes, from which he vanished in a puff of pure logic.
Caci with her “Tandem Master.”
gadgets, I must say that the iPhone is truly revolutionary. The user interface is very intuitive and beautiful.
