In Flight

Learning to fly: August 2001 - ?

"I don't know if I want anybody to walk away from the movie thinking about me specifically," he said. "I do want them to walk away asking themselves, 'Well, if I get a second opportunity at something, I should walk through that door.'"

Jim Morris, Devil Ray rookie pitcher at age 35


On reflection, that quote referring to the new movie, The Rookie, sums up the past seven months.

I've made two flights in the week since getting my ticket: I took the kids (Chris and Ben) around the patch for 35 minutes on Saturday, and then flew with John Romero and Mark Olivieri to Weiser Airpark (and Carl's Bar-B-Q) on Wednesday.

The trip to Weiser was with John as navigator (who also paid for half the flight), and he did a phenomenal job. All I had to do was fly the airplane. Straight through Navasota's VOR and on to EYQ. The lunch (on John) was delicious, too.

I think I like this PP/SEL thing.
