Possibilities

Looking online at the airport I used to manage, I felt nostalgic. It seems neglected, unattended, in need of TLC. I think it would be lovely to open a little pilot shop there. Here is a link to a picture of it:

From the Iditarod to the Chisolm Trail

So it's minus 20 again this morning. It should be comforting to think about moving from Alaska to Oklahoma. Winter lasts 2 weeks, not a freaking eternity!! And yet, I've been sad all week. There is so much I wanted to do up here and I've not had a chance. I wanted to learn to kayak so I could explore Resurrection Bay. I wanted to learn to fly fish. I wanted to fly! I wanted to build a house. I wanted to grow old with the love of my life...

I, I, I. Me, me, me. None of that matters. There is something greater than all my desires which must be tended to: family. So it is with mixed emotions that I prepare us for the move in June. June. That's not much time to finish writing this chapter in my life. I feel like Calvin trying to finish his list of things to do in summer the day before school starts. lol

There are adventures to be had in Oklahoma: I will surely step back into my role in aviation. Maybe even get that cool job with the FAA to finance my flight. Maybe do a little aerobatics, or fly into the sunset with a friend. Or I could get a horse again and explore some canyons and lakes. And lets face it, Manda, you haven't caught one fish up here, but in Oklahoma, the fish fought each other to get on your line. (Hey, sadly, that's also a metaphor for my love life!!)

So, set the GPS for Lat: N 3509.3 Long: W 09728.2, where they have the cheapest fuel and the coolest airplanes! ETA 6-24-07

And so it begins..

I'm a serendipitous person: I look in the mirror expecting one thing, and always find something new... (OK, its usually a gray hair). I'm a mother, a pilot, an artist, a writer, a Girl Scout leader, an airport commissioner, a teacher... and the only thing I excel at is fear. SO- for my fortieth birthday, I'm planning on going skydiving. Wanna watch? Countdown: 400 days!
