A tour of the tower

This, I suppose, will go down in the ‘history of me’ category. The time has come to tell a story that will probably wander a bit. It’s partly a trip down memory lane, but partly in anticipation of next week’s trip to California. It’s a story I’ve told many times, … Continue reading →

Yesterday was Valentines Day. I’ve had some Valentines days that I’ve been home, and others that I’ve been away. This year, I had the pleasure of being home, which was actually a change from the original schedule. A week or so ago, Edi suggested that, since I’d be here, we … Continue reading →

There are many broken things and people this week. Some of them might be fixable. Others are not. Some are unknown. The time since I got home has been pretty rough….. I came home to find the printer broken. Ordered a part. Don’t know if that’ll fix it (or if … Continue reading →

Keys

I had 6 keys on my keyring that go to stuff I’m not sure I even have anymore. One likely goes to the lock on my bike. The bike would take a little work to get running (tires, WD40, etc.) and the key probably wouldn’t work the lock anymore. A … Continue reading →

TIme off

So I passed the oral this morning. One more step down. Now I’m on my way home for a couple weeks off. I haven’t actually made any concrete plans for that time off yet. I’m sure I’ll figure out how to busy it up. I might take a little trip. … Continue reading →

People and worth

In the “Varrin thinks too much” department, several experiences over the last couple of weeks (including the training and the jazz) have refreshed some of my already-established views about the human will, achievement and ability, especially differences in innate ability or characteristics. At the same time my thinking has been … Continue reading →

Ground school complete

The last two and a half weeks have been pretty busy. It has been 7 years since I did an initial aircraft course (MD-11 at World). The last one I did was mid-2000 in the Canadair Regional Jet when I upgraded to Captain at Comair. I already knew that airplane … Continue reading →

Workin hard

Too much to write and not enough time to write it all. The short version is, this week I’ve been working pretty darn hard. Lots of studying, not all exclusively for my benefit. I’m thinking I’m doing alright. The Oral got rescheduled (errr relocated) to Memphis this coming Sunday. I … Continue reading →
