As I write this post it is almost 11:00 pm Sunday evening and I’m in my hotel room. Another day of flying is done and a long day at that. I’ve come to enjoy these times when I can relax and reflect back over the day. I smile when I think about the two little children sitting in row 12 who are excited because they are flying for the first time and heading for good times with grandma. I imagine grandma is excited too. I will pray for the middle aged man who struggled to smile because his dad is not expected to live and Hospice suggested the family call him. I also enjoyed reconnecting with a couple who were on one of my flights 3 days ago and are now heading home. And when the opportunity presents itself and I can peek out the window, the view from my office is so much nicer than the 8×8 cell I use to work in. The added bonus to the day was arriving at the hotel and finding a chocolate chip cookie with my name on it. 🙂 Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Goodnight.

Your view from the office is certainly better than my 8×8 cubicle view! I love your stories about your interactions with people.

Thanks for the kind words, Paul. I get little feedback on my writing and wonder if it’s just my garble.

This the part of the flight I like, very peaceful, I’m not that good on take offs and landings. I think that is due to my flight home from Vietnam and when we landed in El Toro Air Base the engine caught on fire.
Monte Stevens
Engines on fire are not good! Now a days all aircraft are designed to extinguish any fire in the engine while still in the air. But if that’s the case then you have one less engine.

From this photo it looks like your current office has really nice carpet and is big — with a great view. 🙂 I’m sure there’s positive as well as negatives to it, but if it’s something you enjoy, that’s what counts.

I like the view from your office. When I had an office, it overlooked an old cow pasture.
Monte Stevens
Were there cows? 🙂 Even a cow pasture beats the 3 sided cube corporations want is to work within.

Great view from the office, Monte, and a wonderful prelude to sleep–a cookie. All is well.
Monte Stevens
I think you have a nice view from you workshop. And, I see you have a soft spot for cookies. 🙂
