....No, Thank You

I've really been enjoying my new earned license to fly. So far, I've taken Sheri up, which meant the world to me as she's has been and still is very supportive of my desire to be a pilot. She had only been flying with me two times when I was in training and we were of course, joined my my flight instructor. The feeling of being able to take my wife up and enjoy the ride, sky, view and general experience of the whole thing while it was just the two of us is incredible. I can't wait to take her back up and do it again.

Being as though, this is such an exciting thing for me, I like being able to share it. Next, I took up my father in law and though he is a quiet man in general, it looked like he really enjoyed the ride and was appreciative of it.

Number three in the right seat was Jeff Conlin. He and I used to play Flight Simulator 3 for hours and climb on his imaginary plane (or bus, or car, or truck or what ever the hell we felt like calling it that day) back in the 4th grade. He had a big wooden climb all over it "thing" that his parents put together and that sucker was a kid with an imaginations best friend. So, it was nice to be able to fly with my old Co-Pilot as an adult. He too thanked me for the ride. It is very clear to me, people appreciate my sharing this passion for flying with them, I deeply appreciate having them allow me to share it with them so much more.

Since the old Honda has been getting up there in years and even more so in miles, Sheri and I decided to pick up a newer vehicle to replace it. After a ton of searching, we settled on a Maroon 2000 Nissan Maxima SE with 57000 miles. The price could not be beat and the frugal Jew in me is all about that. It's a very nice car and I look forward to driving it. Because we picked it up so cheap, we would be able to sell it and at least be able to break even if we had to....such as...if the v6 in that car drinks more gas than we believe it will. The Bastard Dealerships in the area would only offer me $1000 for my Honda, so trading it in was just kind of stupid. Now, we're a three car family. I'll probably continue to drive that Honda often and into the twilight of it's useful life. Now, it's any body's guess as to which vehicle you'll spot me in. Regardless of which car, I've got reliable transportation and that makes me happy.

Last night, I worked very late, or early morning, depending on how you want to look at it. I'm tired and will be going back to bed for another nap. Later tonight, Sheri and I will be chilling out with Drew and Emily....Always a pleasant and enjoyable time. Goodnight(day)
