Birdmen

I listen to 60 Minutes as a podcast (don't get me started on old/new media etc etc etc) and usually listening is enough for me as I do my time in the gym or subway. But tonight I had to go on line and check out a segment -- no, not another demented polemic about some triviality from Andy Rooney -- about these guys who base-jump from mountains while wearing high-tech flight suits that allow them to glide. It's an amazing segment that just filled me with joy.

Unfortunately, blogger.com won't let me use an embed tag, so here's the link:
