Parachute BushWith the father 85 year old President Bush jumping out of perfectly good airplanes with the Army Golden Knight parachute team on his birthday there is

A Life Lesson From Bush 41.

Listen to his thoughts:

"Just because you're an old guy, you don't have to sit around drooling in the corner. Get out and do something. Get out and enjoy life."

The lesson is to be DECISIVE with your life. JUST DO IT! Figure out what that doing consists of and above all live and enjoy your life.

What are you waiting for? Till you're 86?

Gary - I learnt that age is just a number. If you want to let your "old" or "young" number work against you, you have all the right reasons in the world. You don't deserve it. So, step aside for those who believe they can!

I don't think there are enough drugs or drool to get me to jump out of a plane.  But, good for him!

Identify what it is you love to do, and DO it! Not next week, not tomorro, but NOW. That's my motto - and it's what's keeping me sane!

Well, yes. Sane IS a relative term, isn't it? LOL

Gary, I got tired of waiting to do things.  I'm doing them NOW (while I still can :)  I decided that two years ago when I took my trip to Paris....always enjoy life!

OK, I'll stop drooling in the corner, But my Idea of a wild adventure is eating strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla, NOT hopping out of a plane. (a thumbs up cheer for Bush though)

You gotta love it!  Good for President Bush for doing things at his age!  I hope I am actively looking for things to do when I am 86...

I have to admit I was impressed by that.  I wonder if I'll be doing something like it at 86?

Gary, his son is said by the National Inquirer to be sitting in a corner drooling.  He should join his dad!

Gary - I find it remarkable that he still has so much spunk. I guess this gives meaning to being only as old as you feel.  Mind over matter!

may we all be so vibrant at 85 - regardless of what we choose to express our energy level. I doubt I will be jumping out of airplanes but maybe doing Evel Knieval jumps over multiple cars in Las Vegas???? Hum, that's a thought.

Fore those of you who are on the fense, jumping out of the an airplane is by far one of  the most freeing and exciting things you will ever do. I would recommend anyone do it! What an experience.
