BirdMan
I remember when I was a kid having these dreams where I could just take off and fly...no rockets or wings...I just jumped and took off... I suppose like a superhero...the dreams were so vivid and I remember waking and getting depressed that I couldn't really fly. I saw a 60 Minutes segment on Bird-Man wingsuit jumping/flying and my childhood aspirations to fly all came back. Ironically, I work at an airport and have literally no desire to fly a plane...not against being a pilot. It just doesn't interest me. HOWEVER, this wingsuit jumping is freaking incredible! If I actually had a list of things I have to do before I die, this is on it fo show! I can't imagine my wife would be into it even a little bit, BUT I can imagine that my son would love to do it with me when he is old enough...so, Merrick, 14 years from now we will begin training to be Birdmen.
