Jerry,

Congratulations and Condolences.

Congratulations because you have discovered one of the best kept secrets
in aviation: Acro flying is the most fun you can have with your clothes on,
and Condolences because you are on the road to addiction.

A suggestion: Put a coffee can on your desk at work with a sign that says

"There is no known cure for aerobatics- Please give generously"

Welcome to the club.
