I have wanted to skydive for years. In fact 18 years ago I went through the training but the first 3 times I went in the plane to jump something went wrong; high wind, cloud cover, and broken radios. I gave up and thought maybe the big man was trying to tell me something. Last week however it was my 39th birthday and Steven Walchek took me out for a tandem skydive just outside of Sacramento. I have to admit that it was one of the best things I have ever done and it gave me a birthday I will never forget. There goes another thing I have done before 40 (not that I am in any form of crisis). Enjoy:
