inearnest 0 #1 April 20, 2005 Thank you, thank you, no really. Thank you. Stop it. You're embarrassing me. Please, sit down. Really. No. Thank you. I'm blushing. So I know in comparison to what many of you have accomplished in this sport, getting your A License must seem like old hat by now. But this past weekend I achieved my A License at Cross Keys, and it feels like the biggest deal in the world. I still can't stop smiling. I write for a few magazines, and wrote the following piece on the experience, and just the feelings of becoming a small part of the skydiving community. Thought I would share it here. http://maisonneuve.org/blog/index.php?itemid=928 Blue skies?--- "Once you jump. you'll never look up at the sky the same way again."
