It's intimidating. It's times like these where simplicity can be the best way to thread the emotional needles that this anniversary can be.

I remember being driven across a major airport to the main terminal to attend an Emergency Meeting. Exiting the car, I could not miss the sight of a large number of airliners put into immediate hibernation… of which the silence was so deafening… a sound I shall never forget!

Beech Dude, thanks!

captjns, I remember when you called ops during climb out to report your OOOI's. It's amazing how on time we were then?

Today's a little subtle...

My family has tended to marry late and have kids late. I have no grandkids (biologically possible, just barely), but one gate agent recently commented that I'm older than her grandmother. Guess it was an oblique compliment since she didn't think I looked that old.

I tell my age and people cannot believe it. They think I am much younger. I pull out my License. They shake their head.

I have 3 stepdaughters so you think I'd have at least 1 step-grandchild. Nope. It just worked out that none of them ever had any kids and now they're all too old. Between the 3 of them they've had 9 spouses, number two was the overachiever with 5. We warned her we were just going to start calling them by their number instead of trying to remember their name.

I have heard after 7, they start recycling them. Marrying some a second time.
