  1. Hey DTOM!
    What a great idea! This is totally inspiring me to do something similar :) I would also love to offer my help on a few. Chris, Logan, and I have an annual ski trip that we would LOVE to have you join in next year. Also, if you ever need a sky diving buddy...I'm THERE. I've been looking for an excuse to go again! But we can talk more next week when I come to Philly!!!!
