ChromeBoy 0 #1 March 29, 2002 Is it the sleep we have the night before?Is it the waking up early in excitement unlike the regular work week?Is it the drive to the dropzone?Is it the welcome by friends when we get there?Is it the dirt dive?Is it the call from manifest?Is it the gearing up?Is it the walk to the plane?Is it the jokes and talk on the way to altitude?Is it the door!Is it the JUMP?Is it the FREEFALL?Is it the CANOPY FLIGHT?Is it the friends we make?I love it all...- The runner is for motivation to get my ass back in shape!
