I was browsing through the latest edition of "What Color is Your Parachute?" and came across the origin of the title for what I think is the first time (in twenty-mumble years of occasionally using that guide).

Some of Bolles' friends were saying things like "it's bad, I need to bail" and that was his response.

Some movement forward in the journey, from what was a completely stuck place. Although I don't relish the prospect of, say, another six months like the last six.
