In preperation for this upcoming final hurdle, I have been immersing myself in all things ER. Unfortunatly, all I've been able to find are reruns of a TV show about doctors. Does this mean that I have to buy a V-tail Bonanza and join a country club?
Thanks in advance,

Well hello, caller!
You are certainly going down the right track! I also congratulate you for buzzing LAN the other day and skurring the locals as such. I hope you had appropriate training in "avoiding buildings" and flying at "rediculously low altitudes."
Having grown up near a few 7ERA's...and one particularly bubbafied bubba that was in our neighborhood, I have a few suggestions:
1. Go to a photo studio and get professional pictures taken of yourself in uniform. Get a particularly large print of yourself framed and hang it at the top of the stairs. This way all your friends can bask in your ER grandeur.
2. Owning at least one airplane is always a good idea. In the event of furloughs, make sure you loudly proclaim how you are having to pick up greenslips to pay for the airplane in the crew room.
3. Country club is an absolute must. If it's in Peachtree City, that is an extra 5 ER bonus points. Drive golfcart everywhere.
4. Reinforce to all your friends that "Time flies, and so do I."
I think with these simple steps you can truly enjoy your seat even more. Don't forget to wear your hat when you go to the bathroom in the plane!
Thanks for calling caller. Call back and be a caller soon.
