I'll be there, but I'm not jumping. Out of an airplane...fine. Into the ice-cold, freezing water...no thank you. I'll just be cheering Brian on.

I'm jumping with barubabe's husband.

Here's a pic of us last year. It was on the front page of the paper.

I'm not sure what the theme is this year, but I'm willing to bet that it will be interesting.

It was the coldest jump I've ever done.

They we're still cutting the ice open 30 minutes before the jump so it wouldn't freeze over again.

The wind made it pretty miserable, but I'll still be out there again next year.

Here's some video from that day.
You'll need quicktime to view it.
Brian and I are in the second group that jumps.
