I ‘went’ to Antarctica a few weeks ago - didn’t see penguins, much less polar bears; but Condition One at McMurdo was horrendous!

The next week I went to Paris; and last week to Japan.

(YouTube is a wonderful way to see the world, for an inveterate homebody - Husband asks me every Saturday, “Where are you going to go today?” ;-)

Funny! But isn’t it amazing!!??

An old boss of mine had some health issues; but after 20 years he went to get his flying license. He got started on it, but with the regulation manual at 4-inches thick compared to the 1/2-inch he had flown with, he quickly realized that at 72-years old it wasn’t going to be feasible.

His son got him Microsoft Flight or whatever - and he would spend hours doing that. He would fly old routes that he had done in the past - he loved it.

“And if I have to go to the bathroom - I just hit the pause button and don’t need to worry about it. And I can even fly under the Columbia River Bridge and not get in trouble for it!”
