A decade has pasted and I'm still young

Sheri and I attended my 10 year high school reunion this past weekend. Kudos to Sheri for smiling and nodding during the event. Reunions really are a bore for the significant other's who know absolutley nobody in the room. As for the event itself...it was great to see so many familiar faces. What's amazing is how many people still look so similar to the day they graduated. There was a whole bunch of faces that I just didn't recognize, this can be both a positive and negative comment...depending on the person. Regardless of how we are aging, as a class, Arundel 1996 is doing Great! So many people are successful in their fields and are making something out of their lives. There was a rumor that an "Anti-Reunion" was taking place the same night by some classmates who felt that a reunion is not worth it. Yet...ironically enough, having an Anti-Reunion party is essencially the same thing...it's still a Reunion. Maybe another decade will pass and those who feel as they do now will mellow their opinion and join the rest of the class. After all....they might just suprise themselves and find out that it's really nice to see people you knew when you were young. The fact is, a reunion is an excellent way to connect your life to your past. Going forward in time, the only ties you have to your youth tend to diminish. My past was no pleasure cruise, but looking back at it and spending even just a few hours with the group you spent so much time with when you were young...to me....is Totally Worth it!

Smeby Twins....it was awesome to see you again. Do you realize that we met 22 years ago? Time does fly.

Speaking of flying, I did my first Cross-Country solo flight this past weekend too. LNS-EVY-LNS. For those of you airport savvy folks...where was I flying??? Nervous doesn't even come close to describing what I was feeling. The trip worked out perfectly though. I stayed on course (which is vital to finding the correct place on earth that you're supposed to land at) and the weather couldn't be more cooperative. I can't wait to do it again. Special thanks to the voices at the other ends of Williamsport Radio, Millville Radio and the Lancaster ATC group. I appreciate the patience.

This blog is being typed from VPS (Eglin Air Force Base) in Florida. I'm down here handling a couple flights for ATA. One of them is on a 24 hour delay and now I get to catch a non-stop flight home on ATA. Late...but non-stop is still good. I'm staying in Destin, FL and the area is rather nice. This could be a good location for a long weekend.

Last but certainly not least....Sheri and I are having some issues with moisture in our basement. Once again I have to voice a negative opinion of the Mark Will Team and C & F construction for piss poor service. Mark must have forgotten how to pick up a phone and return calls and C & F...well....they just suck. If they could find a corner to cut...they'll cut it.

One more quick note....Kramer from Seinfeld is in trouble with the black community for using non-African American approved language. Strange....The Jewish community never blasted off on the Honorable Rev Jesse Jackson for his Hiemeytown comments a few years ago. Everybody just needs to breathe and move on...Life's too short for the Bullshit.
