Longest gap ever Oops
It's been too long but I have lots to catch up on and I a don't have access to my main computer so I can get all my pics uploaded and everything I want to share but I will try to get caught up on the last month in a short version. One of the coolest things that happened in the last month besides going 0 for 3 fishing in 3 different states is that I finally jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. About 8 or so years ago I took a drive with Sol and a few friends to Skydive Chicago and we planned on jumping and there were low clouds and after our class and 4 hours of waiting around we were told we could not jump. I have always wanted to Skydive but never quite got the courage up since that day and the opportunity never quite presented itself. Well Tuesday October 7th 2008 I finally did it, PJ and Nick and Jamie actually did it a couple days earlier on Sunday and after talking to PJ Monday night and watching his video I had to do it. We went out for sushi monday night and after a couple beers and some talk we got in the car and went to Ottawa Illinois and spent the night and woke up and PJ did he second dive with me. I have to say it was the most amazing exhilarating things I have ever done in my life. I was so scared and worried while waiting and thinking about it but on the way up in the plane and it was too late to worry I just went with it and WOW!!! WOW!!! it was amazing. Here is the video posted on Youtube and sorry for the music but the great sound track the video came with was copyrighted and youtube removed the video and I had to replace with there BS. Click here to watch the hoob jump from 13K feet and you can see the fear and worry on my face but man was it cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF0xga6QXV4
So lets see what else to catch up on, I spent some time in NYC for about 10 days and came home for a short visit have been back in Chicago spending some time trying to work and get some business in order and work on a few new projects. Went back to NYC with PJ for about days and had a really good time. Went to the Tenement Museum, Pastis for dinner one night and one night at Peter Lugers and saw a couple movies and ate lots of Pizza and drank and went to some other places for dinner. We had a great time besides the rainy weather.
Also spent like four days in South Dakota with Phil and all 4 of the Ashbach brothers fishing, it was the 1st time in 8 years that everyone has been together. We had a really great time and shared good time together and besides the fishing it was a great few days.
Couple nights out with friends the last couple weeks and Rosh dinner with my family in BG.
Mei was in Chicago the last weekend for a wedding that I joined her for and spent some nice time together, not much else to report and will fill everyone in soon as some more interesting things happen. Sorry I had to crunch the last month in a few paragraphs but I just wanted to get something down before any more time went on. Talk more soon
