The dive

I got Josh a skydiving certificate for Christmas last year. He had a year to use it, and today is the day... Kind of weird to throw your boyfriend out of a plane as a gift, but he mentioned in passing that he wanted to do it sometime last year -- so...?

Before you jump, they show you this video from the 80s where this guy with the most ridiculous beard talks about how there's a pretty decent chance you're going to die. He sits in a grey suit with his hands on a desk and his beard flowing from his chin to the top of the table, and nothing on him moves except for his lips. It's the creepiest thing they could possibly show you before you might die...

There's a shooting range right next to the landing pad for the skydivers... So, I stand in the sun to the sound of gunfire watching the sky...
