I've always been curious to go skydiving and finally tried it at 60. I enjoyed it, but I won't go again.

• I've always been curious about skydiving but had never given it a try.
• Recently, as part of a fundraiser, I decided to give it a shot.
• I was excited and nervous to do it, and it was exhilirating, but I won't do it again.

I knew some skydivers when I went to college in Buffalo, New York, in the 1970s, and I thought their exploits were fascinating, but I didn't try it then.

Fast-forward to 60 years old, and the opportunity to satisfy my long-held interest presented itself as part of a fundraiser for a Jewish cause. When I mentioned this to my husband, he told me how unhinged he thought I was.
