Hi All, I joined this site ages ago, back when dropzone.com bought rockclimbing.com and DDT (did I get his name right?) managed us both for a while. There was a fun bit of site crossover for maybe six months, but it's long since fallen off. Anyway, in the meantime, I've left places with mountains and rocks and moved to Michigan for grad school. I've got a while longer out here, I'd like to do something exciting, and skydiving seems like it'd scratch that itch. I'm in SE Michigan, Ann Arbor, and I'd love to learn someplace close. I know winter is coming on fast, and I have no idea how fast the licensing process goes. With climbing, you just buy a rope and start climbing stuff. Clearly, skydiving is quite a bit different. It looks like Skydive Tecumseh is the closest place. Any experience with that place or with others around? Also, what should I know before starting? Or what do you wish you'd known before starting? Is it heinously expensive? I've also picked up photography, and I imagine a heroin habit would be plenty cheaper.

Wait! Another rc.com kid crosses over to the dark side! Hello all. RC.com's resident cunning historical linguist has entered the building. Your local Sanskrit speaker had best vacate, cause this town ain't big enough for the both of us. Also, I'm a giant dork.
