After all the suggestions (or shall I call them ultimatum) saying that I should have a blog, I have now surrendered. I tried convincing some friends that facebook or smallworld would do just fine to post some news and pictures, but that message did not get through. Some advocated the use of email as preferred way to communicate but on that one I do agree that a blog replaces quite some emails and works as kick off for further communication. So I decided to give it a try. Not sure how long it will last, how often I will post, not even what I will post, but I will try something out. After all, I always had writing ambitions (long ago put inside a box with a rusty lock) so who knows this may bring the spirit on again. Shall the posting begin :-)
It's been a while, I know. But time is really a precious asset and I have not been leveraging on it well enough... But today I did and I am proud. I threw all the plans out of the window and took the irrefusable offer I was made "Do you want to go flying today?". How does no work as an answer there? Here is one of the c. 30 airplanes you could see there. First reaction from our pilot: "Why are all these planes here, don't people realize it is an amazing day for flying?". Well, I had not untill he told me so! But the best is still to come, as the only girl in the group I got to ride in the front, get first view in take-off, listen to the radio of the air control all the time (we get Boston airport frequency), check the map, speeds, everything... I guess throughout the way we were some quiet passengers, in the wonders of realizing you are on air, the curiosity of identifying different places and the struggle to take the best pictures as we pass the Harvard...
