Fear Conquering & Gliding in a Sailplane... and meet us in Nashville!

Considering that I have now jumped out of an airplane at 10,000 feet in Australia and paraglided off the sea cliffs of Lima, Peru, one would think that I would have no fear of sailplaning.

Every once in a great while we receive comments like this:

Please don’t refer to your children as “spawn”. It sounds so disrespectful...  AND

I've wanted to respond for a while now, but it didn't feel right before I got my hands on the hilarious evidence behind our nicknaming... CONTINUE READING >>
