Someone tweeted "Jump postponed until he grows a pair", so untrue but made me laugh. Hopefully the 14th is a go.

I have to work up courage to jump out of bed in the morning...

A truly remarkable experience. Congratulations to the entire team for a first time record accomplished in the midst of very difficult times. We needed a hero and found one in young Felix.
