Now is about the time of month I actually start to try and figure out what I'm going to be buying people for Christmas which I realizes is probably not the best plan. Part of the problem is that, since I grew up around the mid-East Coast I have a hard time accepting the idea that Christmas is around the corner when the weather here is still (mostly) mild and sunny.

The beauty, who apparently got into the sport after being inspired by the film "Point Break," does nothing to sell the sport on us, telling the magazine that her parachute has failed to open five times.
