* We’re on weather warnings for today…
Forecast calls for “summer showers.” (some’re here, some’re there…) We’re on weather warnings for today. When on weather warnings, you are permitted to cancel out of a present day class that you are registered for without the normal penalties. But, flying is about striving! Keep your eyes to the sky & hope for the best! Yesterday was another beautiful day! Detective Tricia is becoming a regular fixture at our school. We had three doctors flying in one class! Doctor Dan came extremely close to catching the difficult forward over with Jonah. It’s always a pleasure to fly with Dan. Our intermediate training is more than half completed. Our intermediate-flyers-to-be are flying better & stronger each week! Lisa, James & the others were making impressive progress learning the half turn to the net. For something new, look into our static trapeze & silks program! It is said that all of us on Mother Earth are separated by only six degrees of separation. I am grateful to be associated with these people I fly with. “… to have [perfect] faith is to have wings.” (Sir James Matthew Barrie) Always have a great day. – Dino *

* A cool beginning to summer…!
It’ll be nice & cool with very light winds. If you see a cloud in the sky, it’ll be a surprise to me. There’s a couple of spots open in the class in the middle of today, so snatch them up if you can! Yesterday was absolutely beautiful. Josh from Oklahoma paid us a visit! It was great to have him with us even if only for a little while. It was fun teaching our Sunday morning kids class! The little ones are not only so cute to watch, but they’re packing some talent, too! Their parents were greatly supportive as expected. The tall Nergis & strong Tanya were catching their splits with me. Some of the hardcore group flew with us yesterday (Emma, MC, Margaux, Jen & Dena). And, I finally got to see our Chrissy catch some flyers!! Very exciting! “We contrive to make the invisible air support us; we relinquish the security of feet on the ground because flying is demanding, delightful, beautiful, because we love it. Very few of us are actually crazy, & nearly all of us manage the risks as well as we can, but we all willingly trade some of our security for the immeasurable beauty of the sky.” (Paul J. Sampson) Always have a great day. – Dino *

* A beautiful Summer Solstice…
Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers & fathers to be out there! Temperatures will be on the cooler side today. Precipitation will be zero & winds will be low. Yesterday was fun & a bit warmer. In the morning, Eliot was catching tons of students. Stephanie learned to wait for the “HEP!” as she caught her splits & straddle whip. Ashley celebrated her birthday by taking a class. She showed us she’s a natural by nailing her Knee Hang on her very first time! Samantha was making progress with her Pull Over Shoot. The Big Brothers & Big Sisters & their “Littles” had a fun time with us. Christian yelled out in triumph after his first catch! Call me an idealist, but I had a feeling he liked it. And, we had many regulars flying with us such as Jen, Emma, Nina & Renee. “My soul is in the sky.” (William Shakespeare, ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’) It’ll be a great day. Come out & watch or come out & play. The sky beckons us. – Dino *

* Wait til you get a load of today...!
It’s looking good as it should! As the humidity gets dryer, the winds & temperatures will get slightly higher. No worries. Just remember to drink lots of fluids. And, you guessed it: all classes are sold out today! So, come out & watch if you can’t come out & play. I’m a little jealous because I’ve been helping Silvan on her layout & I received an email from her saying Arlie caught it recently! Twice! Congratulations, Silvan! I can hardly wait to see some of the familiar faces that will be flying with us today: Denise, Yadey, Samantha, Jen, Emma, Nina, Jason, Lynn & Renee. Our aerial family just keeps getting grander! “Come to the edge. We might fall. Come to the edge. It’s too high! Come to the edge. And, they came, & we pushed, & they flew.” (Christopher Logue) Have a great day. I know I will…! - Dino *

There's supposed to be lots of rain this weekend, so the 1st Club Getaway trapeze weekend of 2009 has been canceled. No worries. Jeff L. & I will be running a 3-4 hr long trapeze workshop/flying-session this Sunday @ the little rig in Brooklyn from 3pm-6pm (maybe 7pm, depending on energy levels). It'll be very nice to see all my friends; it'll be even better to fly w/all my friends! Can hardly wait! Hope to see you there...!
One of my favorite quotes:
"Be still sad heart, and cease repining. Behind the clouds, the sun is shining. Thy fate is the common fate of all. Into each life, some rain must fall." (Longfellow) - Dino

* Weather warnings…
So far, today’s classes are on a weather warning. Rain is supposed to develop later this morning. We’re optimistic & will update the site as the weather unfolds. On the bright side, yesterday was nice. Kesha & Kristen from N. Carolina jumped immediately into the morning class. I hope to see them again soon. They flew with the highly supportive group of Lenora, Jay, Tony, Paula, Denise & Biranit. Christina & her vivacious bunch filled the air with laughter. Michelle, Yael & Nergus each worked on transplanting their beautiful splits positions from the practice bar to the high bar. Instructors Rachel, David & Ronnie stepped up to help with classes to ensure everything moved along well. Weather permitting, tonight is the 2nd session of our intensive intermediate training where students are groomed to fly better & safer. “More than anything else, the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination.” (Wilbur Wright) Come fly. The sky beckons. – Dino *

* Another gorgeous day over the rig…!
We’ve got another cool, dry day in store for us at the rig. Winds will be picking up only slightly throughout the day. It’s no surprise that classes are sold out again. Yesterday was a beautiful one, too. Emma flew early in the morning; Amy was catching late night. Molly was throwing her beautiful splits. Dena effectively utilized the things she learned from her intermediate training. Leah made great progress with her splits position. Jason & Lynn threw husband & wife planches. “… mind & spirit grow with the space in which they are allowed to operate.” (Krafft A. Ehricke) Always have a great day. – Dino *
