Reading Rich Bach's book, "THE GIFT OF WINGS".
I had been skydiving for eight years and was tired of just going up and
down. I was 26, single, had the time, had the money, so I did it.

For 15+ years I've been flying MSFS (even back in the pre-Windoze, DOS
days). Finally, last February my wife bought me the $49.00 Intro flight
at the local Cessna center as more of a joke birthday gift than anything
else. Well, no more of those sorts of birthday gifts. Eight months later
I had my PPL and she has to now fly with me. She swears that she'll only
by me things like socks and underwear from now on.
