* Starting off cool & getting warmer…!

It’ll grow warmer thru today with light winds. There’ll be clouds but no showers. Just yesterday, Tory & tiny Emma flew with us all the way from North Carolina! Doctor Dan tried out the difficult “mod” position before throwing strong planche catches. Tricia stayed long enough to make great progress with her pull over shoot! Mary, Paula, Jacob & Nicole are getting the hang of their swings. Rochelle made her 1st catch with us! And, the Amercorps group joined us for some flying. “I feel a strange exhilaration up here which seems to come from something beyond the mere stimulus of flying. It is a feeling of belonging to the sky, of owning & being owned, if only for a moment, by the air I breathe. It is akin to the well known claim of the swallow: each bird staking out his personal bug-strewn slice of heaven, his inviolate property of the blue.” (Guy Murchie) The sky beckons; let’s not wait. – Dino *
