Out. Standing.

Last week, I said I was jumping. 

I jumped.  And so did my wife.  It was her birthday present; she wanted to jump out of an airplane, she said.  Thanks to Mike French and the folks at Skydive Orange - great group, extremely thorough and professional.  If you've ever been so inclined to fall out of a plane, I highly recommend Skydive Orange. 

Happy birthday, Natalie.
