Where I grew up, there was a small airport that exclusively flew planes for sky diving. SO many sky divers landed off course. I remember one landed in the parking lot of the local movie theater, one landed on the roof of a CVS, one landed on somebody’s driveway in our neighborhood. All safely, of course. All this to say, whenever we’d see a group of them in the air, my mother would shake her head and go “who would do that, they’re insane.” Dan, it’s you.
I wish I could remember why I thought it was a good idea. I think I saw a flyer for it in my dorm and it was pretty cheap. It must have been if I did it. You get what you pay for I suppose. I wish I would have landed on a CVS and then be like "hey, just dropping by for my prescription hardy-har-har" and then some bored pharmacy tech would be like "We've called the police, sir." That's how I wish the story ended.
Does this mean I’m famous now? I’m guessing interviewing can sometimes feel like jumping out of an airplane…although I have no sky diving reference point, nor do I plan to. I’ll just assume…that’s always a good plan, right ;)
YOU. NEVER. TOLD. ME. THIS.
I feel like I told you this. I meant to. Just know that I'm a better man for it today!
Really? Well I thought I told you that you had a brain in your head, but I guess I was wrong.
I came straight to the comments to see your reaction! 🍿
"Punchable face" was the comic relief I needed from this!!! Terrifying, I will never!!
I am with Dan L. - love the story. I will never skydive.
Thank you Dan M. for being my guy on the ground when I needed guidance on getting a campaign feasibility study off the ground!
Best part of Monday is Fundraising for Breakfast!
You and I are going tandem jumping some time, Julie. If it's the last thing we do....
Love this story! I will never skydive

Glad you are alive? Absolutely glad it was you and not me!
Dang, I've never heard this story - wild. I've jump off the top of The Strat in Vegas, and have always wanted to skydive, but now I'm not so sure.
