I'm 48 years old, and had my first tandem skydive on 4/4/09. It was the best thing I've ever done. TRY IT!!! You have a good start with piloting a plane…now you need to jump out of one.

Be sure to throw around a jack bauer quote or two. ☺ ride-along update: apd friend’s schedule has recently changed, and won’t be doing ride-alongs for a while, but he says you should be able to just walk into a precinct office and be paired up any day of your choosing.

This is great! Hope you're not od'ing on 24. Hey, is Leslie the homeless guy still around in Austin? Could be fun to hang out with him for a day. Or how about this? Rent one of those pregnancy suits and wear it around for a day. Still dress like a guy, though, and see what people say. Oh, and I love the taxidermy shop idea that someone had. Hilarious. Hey David.

Don’t go to work. Keep this up.

There's one off of south lamar and oltorff called Martinez Brothers Taxidermy. I've always wanted to do that so I could turn my cat into a mini-coffee table stand, bathroom rug, or guest bedroom pillow. Just an idea :) another idea! you should apprentice at a taxidermy shop.

That may explain why I may have been spaced out during out interaction. I think what you're doing is wonderful and creative. You asked for help with ideas or involvement and that is my reason for this post. I would like to offer some ideas that I may help you with. I'm a dancer and study many forms of dance. I also perform and give lessons. If you are interested in learning classical ballet, broadway choreography, salsa, foxtrot, swing, tango, jazz, or even flamenco, I would be more than happy to help you with that. I take tango classes and attend several "milongas" (social tango dance) that I would love to invite you to. If your wife would want to take the tango class with you that would be even better! If she doesn't then I would be delighted to be your partner. Classes are Sunday from 4-5 and Tuesday from 7:30-8:30. If you're interested in another form of dance let me know and I can give you class times. If you want a private lesson from me I will teach you free of charge (your cause is worth my time). Learning classical ballet would be a great opportunity to dress up in a tutu. I can give you a private lesson or I could join you in a beginner class that I wouldn't mind taking with you. Let me know what you think. Ciao! Charlie p.s. Come to Lizzie's hatha flow on friday at 6 (westgate)!

I also like the full-body waxing idea. Or, you can wax a baby! But you've probably thought of that already. Hey David why don’t you spend a day with a baby? I also like the full-body waxing idea.
