As many of you know, I am learning to fly for fun and have no desire to have a career flying for Mesa or Pinnacle, or even my beloved Alaska, for that matter. However, my real life is so busy that I have thought more than once that I needed a NASA diaper or at least an empty coffee can in my office because there has been no time for personal stuff. And needless to say, I haven't flown in a long time and still have only 15 hours in my log book. Still haven't soloed either, nobody has cut pieces of clothing from my body.

I've forgotten everything, including my aviation alphabet. I was on the phone last week talking to someone. He kept asking "was it B or E?" I said one of them is B as in bravo and the other is E as in ... as in ... Couldn't think of it! Mind went blank. All I could think of was E as in eggplant.
