We're about to jump out of a plane...on purpose?
Other than Notre Dame being 0-2 so far, fall is shaping up nicely.
I went skydiving a couple weeks ago (Here’s my landing):




We did a backflip out of the plane at 13,500 feet. I’m pretty sure I either blacked out for that part or my mind is repressing it, cause I honestly don’t remember much of the first 20 seconds. But it was an incredible experience- it really only feels like you are falling for the first little bit (while you are still accelerating) after that it’s more of a flying sensation. I was a bit nervous going in, but my fears were generally allayed by the presence of a grandmother in our training class. So I figured if she (and President Bush 41 at age 80) could do it, I probably could.

We also played a really fun Booze Cruise with Chad Perrone and OSB. (Here’s the view from the boat.)



It’s been nice hitting the road again as well- last week we played 4 colleges and a club in Philly. We’ve been bringing James along and for the college shows (which tend to be in coffeehouse settings) he’s been playing the Cajon. Don’t know what a cajon is? Well, head here, silly.
