I got an email from my dad this morning that amazed me. It was a link to the movie listed below. My dad’s emails usually fall into two categories: virulent anti-bush rhetoric, or scroll-tastic emails w/ some legal joke tucked away 4500px down in the message. Today however he sent me a link to a vid on vimeo and I clicked and I was amazed.
I used to dream of flying – still may (i remember very few of my dreams). I used to dream of being able to run and let go and glide away. Its one of the reasons I so love windsurfing – that feeling of weightlessness and a sense of zero effort speed and grace. Anyhoo – enough waxing poetic about dreams of flight. Here is the video.

Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
