MY SPIRITS LIFTED HIGHER THAN EVER

There you are, on a Monday morning, feeling the world is a dull, grey nonsensical kind of place, and along comes Felix Baumgartner to lift the spirits and remind us that adventure is still alive.

What touches me most in this is not only the enormous adventurous acheivement, but also the engagement of Joe Kittinger, the former record holder, as part of the team to break his own record.

Many congratulations to the RedBull team for this amazing endeavour.
