This is a Test


I'm trying to add a picture. Is this working? Whoo hoo! It worked. This is Nick and me at Disneyland about two years ago. I think it's the Alice In Wonderland ride or something.

Stupid stupid STUPID!

This book is killing me. I'm finally about half way through it and it gets more annoying as I go along. Really, I think the plot itself would be ok if not for the horrid writing. So, Bella's off to an unknown destination with Edward. We got to hear a completely useless exchange between the two of them as to why she had to drive her car. Charlie would know. Can't tell Charlie who she's going with. If he saw her car still home, he'd wonder. They had this elaborate back and forth about how Edward would get to her house without his car. Who cares? Not relevant! Why can't they just get going already? If her car would have been some necessary addition to their little outing in the meadows of Washington, fine. But IT DOESN'T! Oh, and if I hear one more thing about the fabulous Phoenix weather, I'm flushing this book down the toilet. She mentions this blouse that she wears in Phoenix "in the dead of winter". Um, there's no such thing. Phoenix has...

Fundraiser Husband Dads

 I've posted before about the amazing women in my Pilot Mom's group .  These friends give me more validation than I can say.  As I've pondered this over the last few weeks, it occurs to me that I might have missed something. Is there a group for the opposite?  Is there, somewhere out there, a group of husbands, married to high powered fundraising women who need some kind of comradery?  I wonder... Fundraising (and non-profits in general) are heavily managed by women.  Airline pilots are primarily men.  On some level, this makes sense, right?  Sometimes I feel really proud of myself for understanding so much of the airline jargon.  I've learned to speak in airport code.  We don't fly out of Philadelphia, it's PHL.  We didn't go to Los Angeles on our vacation; we went to LAX and then drove to SAN.  Nick doesn't start his trips in Cincinatti, it's CVG.  We ask each other questions about whether or not a certain medication wi...

It's coming...

The insane heat is on it's way. At this early May date, our high today is only 85 (that's still too hot for May) but last weekend, we reached 100--a reminder of the horrid desert climate that I've managed to somehow imerse myself into. I meet new people all the time--mostly at work. They come from nice cold states like Wisconsin and Massachusetts and say things like, "Oh, it feels sooooo good here." I can't help myself from raining on their proverbial parade. It won't for long. The heat will come. With a vengence. Heat like you've never felt it before. Of course, then they say they'd rather be hot--they can take the heat. Not me! I'll take a blizzard over a heat wave any day. Then, I get a quizzical look and this question: "What are you doing here ?" Excellent question. I have no idea!
