I flew an airplane: how was my experience
I have nothing to do with airplanes. I am just a passenger from time to time and know nothing about flying them. I figured out that it is really awesome to pilot an airliner and that you have nothing to be scared about. The navigating systems are so advanced that the chances of something irreversible happening are none to less. If you are a potential pilot or a scared air traveler I will reassure you that you can either start traveling by plane or start training about becoming a pilot without fear.

The Arthur's Seat Failure. Top Story - February 2023.
Introduction I had intended to try to climb Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh on my current visit to actually do the climb and get some photographs from the summit. I do like being up a height (even though I have a fear of heights) just to prove to myself that I can do it. At the end of this story are two other stories documenting my climbing exploits (successes and failures) in Edinburgh which you may find interesting if you enjoy my ramblings in this particular piece.

Ho, Ho Ho, It’s Helsinki!
It was with some trepidation that I took my son to Finland for a week. We were not going North to Lapland to visit Santa (who he still thinks is real, I am pleased to say, at the grand old age of seven) as it was too far from our base in Helsinki. I had some initial concerns that nothing else we did would make up for the absence of that jolly bearded gentleman. I couldn’t have been more wrong. We found enough kids’ activities to more than fill seven days, and kept so busy that not only did Noah fail to mention his missing dad or siblings once, he didn’t even ask what he was getting for Christmas, an event that is usually a daily occurrence in our household from mid-April on.

From Paris With Love
Sunday, March 27, 2014, Easter morning. Stephanie surprised me with an Easter basket just like she always does for our children. Nestled into the fake, plastic grass in my little basket, under the Reese's Pieces, under the little foil-wrapped chocolate footballs, was a home pregnancy test. It read positive! Her thoughtfulness and cleverness never fails to put mine to shame. It was a wonderful way to learn of our second child’s arrival. Over the next few days, or maybe weeks, we troubled over when and how we wanted to inform our loved ones of the news. We knew we wanted to stick with the philosophy we followed for our first child; we would wait until the second trimester and the “all looks healthy” nod from her doctor. The problem was, we were booked to be in Europe at the time of her next check-up. We arranged with the doctor to be seen right before we left for London, only about two week’s difference. This would give us the assurance we desired to prudently make the announcement. And over the next few months, we brainstormed inventive ways to reveal the news to the world. At one point we thought we’d just tell our respective parents over Skype from one of the countries we’d be in. That idea seemed too lazy and lame to both of us, so we scrapped it and determined to keep thinking. On the flight across the pond, I was giving the matter much thought, then I said, “It has to be Paris.” She readily agreed. But how? What method? With us on this trip were about 30 teenaged students plus some of their parents who all knew Stephanie and adored her like a favorite aunt. She was an International Baccalaureate English teacher at their high school, and the majority of them were students in the IB program. She is now the program coordinator. Each of them was emotionally invested to some degree in her well-being and our relationship as well, some heavily, others only slightly less so. We are still very close to a few of them and their parents to this day.

The Rooms
Some one recently called me "The Resourceful One"... Saving money is a bit like a game to me. I relish in the challenge of finding a good discount, a random promotion, or a last minute deal. And who wants to spend money they don't need to? Right?
