A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Happy Birthday Jen!!

Just taking some time today to wish BME’s own Jen a very happy birthday.  Jen has doing BME’s customer support since 2004, as well as keeping the rest of us in line.  She also single-handedly moderates the image queues, and generally keeps things running on a daily basis.

So take some time today and wish a happy birthday to one of the hardest working people I know.

    It’s seems weird leaving a comment that you will have to moderate, making more work for you.
    Anyway, have a good’un.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.
