Seeking thrills and more vacation time since 1979. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Meeting Harry Potter's Maker. On Friday, Oct. 19, Paul and I went to Carnegie Hall to watch J.K.

Seeking thrills and more vacation time since 1979. Friday, September 21, 2007. Skydiving: It's a Bird! It seemed we weren't meant to jump out of a plane. I was immensely relieved. In upstate New York. The three weeks leading up to our appointment were grueling. I spent many nights imagining that moment when I would peer out the airplane door and wait for my cue to leap. My palms got moist at the thought. I imagined what people would say at my funeral if I didn't make it. "Well . The ride up in the tiny, ...
