Well, today's customer meeting went well and even ended earlier than expected. Yay. The simulator was booked for tonight so I'm scheduled to be flying an actual airplane after work - I usually try not to because flying instruments is hard enough without doing it at the end of a workday. I have a funny feeling it might not happen, though, due to the amount of wind. I was going to call and ask the FBO so I wouldn't have to leave work early only to find out I wasn't flying. (And bear in mind the airport is only five minutes from my house, so it's not like I'd be driving across town.) Luckily, a jolt of common sense hit me before I dialed; still, it scares me that I even thought of the idea of calling ahead "so I wouldn't have to leave work early unnecessarily".

Though some of your passions have become chore-like, I'm delighted by your go-for-it life. Flying. Knitting. Rowing. Spiffing up the house. (How's the pool, btw? All finished?) Erg challenges. Reading 'hard' books. Going to Ireland and Antarctica! I'd like to say my kids hold me back from a life like yours, but I know darn well my adventures would be far less strenuous and much closer to home. I'm proud to know someone who not only dreams big, but lives big. ~LA
