Lots of testosterone flowing and young men jumping and me sitting here in my jammies just wincing, wondering how in the heck they were going to land this and then. . . the parachutes popped out of their backs and I relaxed for a minute. Until I read Josh's comment. Do such physical expressions (as in wing suits and cliffs and floating) and that feeling of "I'm beating the world" always have to end so sadly? Possibly.<br /><br />I love that saying: All old men were once young, but not all young men will be old. Reminds me to not envy this. I'm glad you posted it--made me think (and hold my breath).Letterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-43863839656415744912009-10-27T21:23:32.627-04:002009-10-27T21:23:32.627-04:00So interesting and provocative when compared with ...So interesting and provocative when compared with last week's picture of the person in the middle of the Manhattan street which was taken from high up.<br />Has that person landed?

This really is being done, sometimes with tragic results. Shane McConkey died last winter in such a a stunt when his skis did not release in time. I have mixed feelings about all this. Is it a natural expression of what's possible with evolving technology, or is it just boys being stupid? In any case, though I love to ski, I have a natural fear of heights. Watching this makes me cringe.Joshnoreply@blogger.com
