I was all upset because my landlord would be coming around tomorrow inspecting the pipes, so I had to be there with no set time. Now i couldn't be happier.

It might be good for the sport of HANG GLIDING if you write the today show and tell them how much you enjoyed the piece on Al Roker's flights. I thought it was great press since he obviously had a good time. Here is the email address. today@nbc.com You don't need to say much; just that you liked it!

and here's the video itself:

That's Paul Voight's glider in the background. The original plan was to use him, but the weather never cooperated so he directed them to Wallaby. Too bad the entire country now thinks you have to go down to Florida instead of searching locally, but it's still a great advertisement.

it'd be way cool if one could get the today show web site to post the link to ushga (or whatever its designation) along with the story. or if somehow a clip of the segment could be made to go 'viral' (or whatever Its designational phenomenom reference thingy is (:oops: )
