Your home DZ is a lot of things to a lot of people. It could be where you did your student training, where you live...where you feel the most comfortable and have the most friends. My home DZ has been gone for so long I feel like a displaced person. If I was gonna pick a home DZ...it would be Lodi. bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

You left them in Dallas dude! For me my home dz is where i have done the bulk of my jumping. It is where i will end up jumping if there isn't anything special going on somewhere else.

My life hasn't presented me the need or oppertunity to move somewhere else since I started skydiving. It's a change that I might have to make at some time, but I am mostly happy for now.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.
