* GOOD TO GO…!
The weather’s much better today! There’ll be clouds & winds, but we’ll take it! LET’S FLY!! It’s never a dull moment! Little Ellie got to fly with her mom & brother sans the rain. Our Manisha is catching so easily nowadays. But, please hold onto your catcher, girl! Our Abby got her Matt to catch with us for the 1rst time! We explained to my lovely Catherine it’s called the Whip (not the Glacier!) because you have to open FAST! Mary, Jen K., Margaux, JP, Lenora, Jay & Tony each took classes with us, too. Last night, I hope you caught our flying & our Frederique on the Late Show with David Letterman! They filmed during classes amid the b-day party of Jen & her friends. Everyone was such good sports! And, our Paul, Jon G., Rob, Olivia & Frederique worked as such a great team throughout the day! “We who fly do so for the love of flying. We are alive in the air with this miracle that lies in our hands & beneath our feet.” (Cecil Day Lewis) You gotta love it!! – Dino *
I vividly & fondly remember that day! I remember Manisha's soft grip. Good for her that she's light! I remember having my Catherine in a class; it was me, Arlie & Jon G. Arlie said, "It's called a 'Whip', not a 'Wimp'." I coined the phrase "the Glacier" to describe how slow she was opening up. And, Jon G. said, "Umm... You might wanna open up BEFORE you hit the net..." lol The staff from the Letterman show were really nice (except for that producer...). It was a lot of hurry up & wait, but everyone was good sports (especially the class of birthday party flyers who were really inconvenienced), and a couple of us on staff got royalty checks for as long as almost 2 yrs later!
