Blogging is probably not my style. It requires short stories, to the point ideas. I am good at none of that. But I am still going on with it, not willing to give up just yet. Because today, amazingly enough, my story may actually be short. For all my banker friends, today I missed you all because today in the middle of my day I missed numbers. I did not know what was wrong, why the adrenaline of getting work done was not kicking in and I just kept on looking for an email to distract me. And suddenly I realized, if only I could look at one little number, everything would be fine.

At least I knew what was going on. And I moved on. To you bankers, here is the proof today, that one day, you may miss it :-)

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...
