That trip was really great experience. I was getting quite confident towards the end, and then I came really close to flying into some wires just before I got home. If you read the real-time blog posts, you might remember that. Big dose of reality. This past year, I had another great trip. I...

I know I said I wasn't going to blog this trip, but today, the first day, was a roller coaster and I feel compelled to write. After arriving at the airport, I realized I didn't have the key to my plane. It took my wife and hour to drive home and get it. I had already unloaded all my things from...
