I flew today. It’s a sad state of affairs when it’s blog-worthy that I, an airline pilot, flew an airplane today. I was sitting in the crew room watching The Baxter on my spiffy new aluminum MacBook that I can’t really afford when my right breast started vibrating. I paused the movie, removed my headset and examined my telephone. Someone with from 336 area code was trying to call me. My first instinct, since I didn’t know who it was, was simply to ignore it.

I just had a Guinness. I finished the shopping. Sam’s gave me $7.49 in cash for the tuna that was foul. The pledge drive just ended. I think I’ve finally caught up on my sleep debt from last weekend (getting up at 4:30 at the latest, 3 am at the earliest) by sleeping 12 hours a night. My cold is over. I’m sipping on an IBC.

I’m becoming increasingly annoyed with my employer. If anyone in the company knows what’s going on, they’re not telling me. Still no word at all about whether I’m going to fly a Dash here in a couple weeks or not. Kelsey decided to rearrange his schedule so that the Nachzen kids could hang out last night. I cooked chicken, mashed potatoes, onions, artichoke and asparagus. We drank several bottles of wine and then Mario Carted for a few hours. I’m not very good at video games, but it’s always reassuring to know that Sydney will bring up the rear for…
