Lesson’s Learned from little creatures
A few weeks ago, I was in preparation for our big trip down to Dare County Regional Airport. This was a big deal on a number of fronts, because I was going to ask Elizabeth to marry me, and… we would be traveling first class, with me flying her down. It was about a 90 […]
Owning Truth
There is something, in the back of my mind, like a sliver stuck there, that keeps bugging me, and I’ve had trouble trying to figure out what it is. I’ve had it for years, and I suspect that you’ve had something like this, as well. Just recently, I started to realize what it is. When […]
The Art of Influence
Some of us are lucky enough to see the results of our heart’s work in our lifetime. Most though… are not, or let me say, we might not see in our lifetime, the massive affect and impression our heart left on this world. I would also say that the ‘art of influence isn’t something we […]
MOVE ON, PEOPLE…
Let’s just call out the ‘pink elephant’ and thump this bad boy down on the table that everyone ‘knows’ but few ‘talk about’. Yes, there are those that like to ‘brag’ about it but it’s time to get real about it. The world boys and girls, isn’t always a safe place. It isn’t always a […]
There and Back Again….A Pilot’s Tale
Part 1- I had a dream when I was a child of flying. That dream led me in many different directions. One of course, was the children’s book, ‘THE DAY I LEARNED TO FLY’, which was published last year. But flight is like a love affair with a mistress who, once she bites, she’s sorta […]
The Art of Tying shoes and Inspiration
I don’t like to get into politics much due to the level of manure that seems to be at ALL levels of the system, and I also don’t like to keep up with current news due to how much of it is bent toward a personal philosophy vs. just ‘give me the facts’. It seems […]
Companion
Now that I am at the point of turning final for a half century, flaps are down, gear down and power is back for a touchdown on runway 50….(Yea, I went flying today), 50 years old is soon approaching. For my friends who graduated with me, it’s hard to believe, for my brothers who grew […]
The Pursuit Of Passion
I might be self focused enough to write a weekly blog, thinking that anyone might read it, I might have a title in a company, be a father, former husband, ‘pilotmotorcyclistcarbustruckboat’ and just about anything I can get my hands on to drive/float/fly type of guy but…I am just like you, just like everyone else, […]
July 27th
July 27th isn’t what I would call a great day. I have been hesitant to talk about this day and only a few know what it means to me, and what it has left in my life. The truth is, I am a member of a HUGE family of parents who’ve been through this. I […]
The Art of Saying ‘Goodbye’
Saying Goodbye. I like think of, and treat most of things in life, as if they have personalities. If you’ve read my book, you know I have a tendency, sexist or not, to call inanimate thing around me ‘she’. For instance… history is full of ships that are referred to as ‘she’. Aircraft, spaceships, etc. […]
