I am half way through the book. As a person who has always wanted to fly ( and who never seemed to be able to put the money and the ambition together in the same place ) I purchased this book in anticipation of tomorrow, for tomorrow is the day I am taking my first glider ride. The day after tomorrow I am scheduled to take my second ( and longer ) ride. Before, I was happy about what is about to happen. Now I am thrilled. I can't wait. Having read as much as I have of this book, I now know and understand so much more of what it is I am waiting for. I can't wait. I just can't wait. I will fly before I finish the book. And I think that is the perfect thing to do. I will be able to read the rest of the book from a new perspective - from experience. The book is so well written - the words are strangely calmimg and comforting - serene, almost. Thank you, Mr. Whelan. Thanks to you, I just can't wait.
