No, I’m not getting married, I’m not even dating anyone currently, silly!
NO! I’ve set a date with an instructor for my first paragliding lesson! Paragliding is something I’ve always had a great interest in, and I even managed to take one lesson whlie in highschool. Unfortunately, time, money, and opportunity were all against me then, and I never got to really get into it.
Fortunately, most of those factors are now actually to my advantage, thanks to the whole ‘moving to california for the great job’ thing, so what better time than now!
My first lesson is April 29th with “Rob” (I would’ve started next weekend, but that weekend I’m back in NYC for a quick visit to see friends and play some ultimate), and I can’t wait.
When I told my manager Ben my intentions to do paragliding a few weeks ago, his response was “Just wear a helmet and wrist guards, that’s all I care about” (paraphrased (*para*phrased; GET IT?! (oy))). No matter what else happens, long as I can type, and (optionally) think for my programming gig, he could care less. (:
Here’s to not dying!
