Kinda.

Went to TEDxBoulder this year. Good stuff.

Still want to go to the big game, but that’ll happen, sometime.



get a job as a wind tunnel instructor (read all 3 entries…)
One way or another...

So when I first listed this, I was trying to get a gig at a tunnel in L.A. Since then, I’ve moved to Colorado, and spent a lot more time at the tunnel. And while I still love the idea of working there (it’;s the best way to get really good really fast), I’m not sure that it’s going to happen for me. There were some concerns about my size (which is small) that may be justified.

But over the past year, now having 32+ hours of flight in a tunnel (& flying on a very competitive 4-way formation skydiving team)...and having gotten my AFF-Instructor rating to instruct in the sky…I’m now in a spot where I can effectively coach in the tunnel.

I got signed off as an official coach recently, and have begun bringing in students. Going to take a little longer…but I’m getting paid to fly with people (& help them fly better), which is a pretty damn awesome thing.



get my eyes fixed

Well, it’s (almost) official. Calling today to discuss PRK with the doc. Already had the eval – just need to set up an appointment, then get ready for it.

I’ll have to go 2 weeks without wearing contacts beforehand…and I HATE wearing glasses. Then about a 5-7 day recovery time after the surgery. (Having PRK instead of LASIK due to lots of physical activities where LASIK won’t provide as much protection.)

Slightly more nervous about the whole thing than I ever was about jumping out of airplanes.
