That's hilarious because I've always wanted to see the same thing but you are so right! You can't exactly go up and ask to see their rig. I bet they have hottubs in there!

It's funny because as you know, I have been in a race against time and this disease for the last few years. I have put the bulk of my energy and resources into doing everything I ever wanted or hoped to do. I've had some feelings of reluctance over my roadtrip this fall knowing that it's probably my last one. I think for me, the majority of my struggles are now the kind from within. I think I've done most everything; I need to make peace with myself over the changes that are beyond my control, and the ones that I need to make, but don't want to face.
Gret, please believe me when I tell you that "wishIhadda's" seriously suck and regret lasts forever.

Um..No, I mean yes, I mean it's Kendall Jackson and I had to go through a lot to get this wine! Suffice it to say it included a small furry pug getting locked in the car at the liquor store...)
I love your roadtrip stories - I think of all the wonderful adventures you've had and it makes me smile. I actually don't really have any regrets, this was more of a curious question designed to let me see what people really want to do/what interests them. Sneaky, huh? I've already skydived so doing it again would just be a bonus, I don't really miss the roller coasters, and you know about my work around for having a kid - in the end, it's all good and it's what I truly want. I do overcompensate I think. I worry that I won't be able to do something in the future, so I push myself to do everything that interests me now.

She replied:
"You'll be 42 in 7 yrs anyway." "If you go for it now, you'll be 42 with credentials, not 42 without . . ."

cherie - I too loved this column. I remember coming back to it when I was trying to decide if I wanted to apply to PT school. It took me a long time to understand this, but when I finally did, I was good with it (and it made me realize that I didn't want to give up the next 3 years of my life to pursue it, no matter how much I wanted to be a PT). It wasn't the time it would take, it was the loss of it and the impact to my family that sealed my decision. Very freeing.

Silly girl, now why would you want to jump out of a "perfectly good airplane"!?
I guess we can go, as long as you aren't the pilot as well. Remind me to tell you of my first jump. I think the pilot thought he was going to have to land with me hanging off the strut. Much to my dismay, I learned that you don't actually "jump". You have to climb out onto this little step while holding the strut and then let go. Ack. I think I need another glass of wine now. You do have yourself a deal though.
