I jumped out of a plane for the first time and on the way down, before I pulled the chute, had the strangest thought… This is freedom. And then there’s Samuel Adams beer which I like very much, brewer, patriot as he was. I’m visiting my brother and where he lives you can’t walk into a store and buy beer on Sunday. They should have a sign that says if you’re a Christian you can’t buy beer on Sunday which would force me into lying when the nice old lady with the jingle bells sweater - #17 ‘Mary’ looks into my eyes. Then I’d probably get hit in the parking lot by some young punks in red Che Guevara t-shirts driving red camaro fast. Just my luck. Seconds later I pulled hard, a big white bulb formed over my head and I popped like a cork. Even though my chute opened up to the blue sky like a young poet, still hit the ground hard. After smashing down, I thought… This hurts. |

Wow, this is special. Even though you hit hard on the ground, you had that feeling of FREEDOM ... and the beer can wait ... Love and light. Margherita |
