Paragliding

I could talk a lot about paragliding, so I won't. I'll just show some pictures.

(Go to this link if you want to hear about my early ventures into paragliding).

Mind Massage

"Mind massage" is the term that Zach used to describe a philosophical discussion we had one day.

Zach had attended a weekly "cafe philo" that I conduct (discussed in another section below).

The topic for this one was "do you know what you think you know?"

After the session, Zach remarked to me he had really enjoyed the discussion and that it had felt like a mind massage.

So what is this thinking thing that I like to do ?

I don't know.

But I know that "mind massage" is a good description for it.

Going solo

Zach continues to show increasing independence, and this year, established that independence by proving some mastery in the command of two very different types of vehicles.

----------------------------------

On May 26 of this year, Zach completed his first solo flight in a fixed-wing glider.

After a couple of practice runs along with a few simulated emergencies, Zach was ready to do his first solo flight.
