One Of The Best Days In A Long Time

Last Wednesday I felt a shift in the force. Later that afternoon the incessant winds and rain that we have had for a while stopped. That night I actually had pleasant dreams.

I’m sure there will be stormy days ahead but I’m also confident the roof won’t leak.

It got a little weird for a few years but the silence on twitter is deafeningly pleasant.

We survived.

Sleep well y’all.

So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
