Mitch Hedberg (1968 - 2005) - I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down.

- Maureen and I are having fun visiting the Florida Dropzones (skydiving airports). We jumped at Sebastian the last two weekends. We plan on visiting Titusville and Lakeland in the next few months. Also plan on returning to Punta Gorda for Maureen's 100th.
- Maureen: Thanks for the great skydive in Sebastian this weekend. Was great to see old friends and meet many new ones. Loved spotting and jumping out of the same PAC I trained in. Great weekend!!!
- Maureen is closing in on 100 jumps. On only her 12th sit-fly jump she was able to hold the sit for the whole jump. Which is impressive because we haven't been jumping a lot lately and the last sit-fly jump was before the wedding.
- The Wedding DVD is done. Email me your address if you want a free copy. I'll be bringing a bunch to Punta Gorda this weekend.
Please don't be upset or take it personal that you were not invited to the wedding. Maureen and I wanted a small wedding and we didn't invite any friends or family. Thank you very much to all the well wishes.

- Jason passed away on Monday. We'll miss him very much.
Lisa is planning to have a memorial jump and celebration of life party at Air Adventures on Saturday May 23rd.
In Lieu of flowers, please donate at Wachovia Bank. The account is set up under Lisa R. Moyer for her and Jason's sons, Brandon and Bradley

- Maureen: Happy two year anniversary Superman
- Will: Had a blast jumping in Punta Gorda with Maureen. The skydive wedding plans are working out. Early May.
- Will: On my way to airport hoping for good winds and blue skies.
- Will: I made some small updates to site.
- Maureen: Today's fortune: Mighty forces will come to your aide... crap
- Jumped my new V3 Micron with Skyhook and 3d spacer foam. Love the spacer foam. Had a one and a half spinner on opening to set the mood.
- Watched Maureen try out power para gliding.
- I added a new Photo Gallery to the website. I also posted new photos from Punta Gorda!
- I uploaded my first HD Video to YouTube.
- I jumped my new camera setup this weekend. I got the Sony HDR-HC5 HD 1080i camcorder. It's a really nice top mount setup with a Hypeye Pro D cameye in a Cookie box with ZKULL quick release. I had to drill a bunch of holes in the helmet for cables and mounting. I had to cut a square on the Cookie Box for the Hypeye connector. Most Sony HD camcorders with the D AV connecter allow for 3 stills shots at 2 mega pixels to be taken while shooting video. Those images look a little grainy. You can also take unlimited high quality 4 mega pixel shots in camera only mode. The Hypeye allows for quick shift between still/video modes. I plan on adding an Optima and getting a new flat top helmet.
- No news is good news. With the holiday season and a few other things I've been too busy to update the site. Maureen and I have been planning our wedding. We have been skydiving as much as possible at a few different drop zones Florida. Anyways all is well with us. Look for us in facebook.
- Maureen and I are engaged!
- We had 20 people on 5 teams in the scrambles. I was on Mike's team along with Vickie and Steve. We finished 3rd. Maureen was on Bruce's team along with Derek and Bob. They finished 5th. Maureen scored a bonus point for landing on the target. Her other 2 were just slightly off.
