I’m going through one of my anxious stages again. That’s why I couldn’t sleep this morning. I must NOT let my fears affect my everyday life.

We watched David Copperfield and half of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. There was a horrible news item. An experienced sky-diver was videotaping some friends skydiving and became so fascinated he jumped out of the plane without his chute. There was some speculation that it was suicide, but the videotape – with audio, I believe – was salvaged. I don’t know whether he screamed or if suddenly the image jumped as he jerked the camera. They aired it, but rather than see or hear it, I left the room with my hands clapped over my ears.
