Oh but it's really tough sitting on your duff just like I am doing right now on this computer typing on FR while ALSO doing my own work I get paid for, GEEZ I could do this all night without breaking a sweat. THANK GOD I can excercise early mornings and later evenings so I can give my heart a good jolt of activity.

I'm wrapping up 10 consecutive weeks of 70 hours/week working on a software project. On Monday morning I'm donning a flight suit and spending 18 hours in the air with the fruits of my labor. Fortunately, the aviation survival training that was prerequisite for sitting on my duff has prepared me in case I have to bail out with a parachute into the ocean or don a smoke mask with a demand pressure regulator to deal with a sudden loss of cabin pressure. This trip is a bit safer than riding the NATO bus through Izmir, Turkey with armed guards on the front and back. They is just something exhilarating about 9mm submachine guns and terrorists that want to spice up your day.
