Take a chance and fall from the heavens
Phil jumped out of a perfectly good airplane today. And from 11000 feet. And had a fucking blast doing it. This is less an update of how I am doing than it is an open invitation to anyone who wishes to go skydiving: I'll jump with you. :)

More of that good ol'fashioned altruism we supposedly have...
I'm beginning to see why acts of kindness are tougher to find in this country.
Seriously, punishing a man for helping people not die of thirst? God this story makes me sick.

My old state is doing some good!
Some good news is nice to see for once. Beats the ol' steroid bullshit, MJ coverage, and the other daily crap I deal with.
