Special Interview with Jeff Kennon at The Stuckmic AvCast
As some of you know, I have been jogging for a little over a year. In the HOURS I have spent out in the early mornings running, I have been listening to an Aviation Podcast. The Stuckmic AvCast. These folks are just great and they each bring to the table years of Aviation knowledge and […]
The Power of A Mom’s Love – Hard to explain
Elizabeth and I were talking the other morning. I was explaining to her how I had spoken to my mom the evening before and just spent some time ‘catching up’. When mom and I hung up she said, “Night night, honey.” Something I haven’t heard in 40 years or so… I don’t think she was […]
Unexpected Lessons In The Middle Of Night…
It is 28 degrees, 12:00 midnight and every star the sky could show is blazing down on the airfield in Greensboro NC. I worked 3rd shift as a fueler for Piedmont Airlines, based out of a FBO (Fixed Based Operations). This is a place on the field where small planes park. Basically it is the […]
South America – Here we come!
To all of my friends in South America, I wanted to send this special invitation to just you. I hold to the belief that our dreams are more important than reality sometimes. When I was a child, I dreamed of flying. As the years have passed, I decided to write a children’s book, The Day […]
The Prodigal’s Brother.
I have found myself in some interesting situations in my life. From time to time, if I pay attention (which is rare), I find and see that I have built a construct around me where the rules apply to everyone… except me… or only when I deem it ‘appropriate’ (i.e. it makes me look good.) […]
The Arrival
I used to work for the airlines. This was back in the day before TSA and 911. Everyone went to the gate and waited for wives, loved ones, relatives. At the other end of the spectrum they would walk this same group to the gates to send them off. The gambit of emotions always got […]
It Matters
I am not sure many of you think about ‘why’ we writers ‘write’. The truth is… it matters to us. We write about what ‘we’ think is important. No one has to agree, no one has to say yes or no, we just need to express our thoughts in words for the world to see. […]
Honorable Foe
In my travels, I don’t always hit the path most trodden, whether it be on vacations, work or just living life, but I find these unexpected ‘jewels’ that weave a new thread of color throughout my own story. So, on a cold 12 degree Vermont morning my travels up Sherborne Drive parallel to Lake Champlain, […]
Dream Catcher
I often think of dreams and how they can slip in and out of our lives and we don’t even notice them. It is a shame really, that we are given so many dreams, desires, and wishes. I think they are seeds… seeds of destiny planted by our Creator to be used for us to […]
He’s not Real! Designed for Disaster – Lessons learned from a 50 year old Divorcé
People in general are just ‘folks’. What I mean by that is, we are all a lot a like. Yes, there is that rare breed that that makes you shake your head and wonder if they really have the IQ of a lemon, but for the most part… we are all the same. As I […]
