Today, very early, I went with my boy Eli down to Eloy Arizona. I think they should just go ahead and change the name of that town to, well you know.

About 10 of us were in the balloon, 7 of um jumped and fell straight down, fast, to the earth. The pilot, my daughter Andy and I stayed in, came down the way we went up, sissies.

I have already jumped once, and won't again probably. But I do get a charge being with my boy when he's doing what he loves to do the most. You can read about another of our recent adventures here. On the way home today Andy and I were talking about life, and we agreed that today is a perfect example of how we are living our lives, these are what we will some day call, the good-old-days. Being sweet with each other, cutting-up, and enjoying an Arizona spring morning.

I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's, no-one. This is my deal, my turn, my time, to live and love, full-on. And I got lots of good friends to enjoy it with.
