The Big Drop: An Instant Turnbull Classic
It’s only been a week since The Big Drop, but it feels like a thousand, million years ago. All the planning, all the scary, panic-ridden anticipation, made for an awesome day, and an instant family memory that I will never, ever forget.
We woke up early last Saturday, handed out some awesome “Big Drop” T-shirts, and headed to the Long Island Skydiving Center in East Moriches, about five minutes from Nana’s, a straight shot on Montauk Highway. When we got there, my mom took one look at the open field and tiny planes and spilled her entire cup of coffee all over my car. This brought back severe anxiety memories of being late for school, mom rushing and coffee flying everywhere. Great way to start off my skydiving adventure, with sheer panic.

Friendship ~ None of that Sissy Shit
Are you tired of those sissy ‘friendship’ poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?
Well, here is true friendship.
You will see no cute little smiley faces on this ~ Just the stone cold truth of great friendship.
1. When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue ~I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
