Janet got me a flight in a glider for my birthday!! How neat is that?
For those of you I haven't already bored to death, here's some pictures of the flight.
This is the glider I was in. (Must have be painted by an OSU fan.)

Squeezing in. (I wont mention any names, but some of you should consider the large, box style glider if you go.)
Wow! I made it.
Watch where you put your feet, pal.
