Learning is a lifetime experience. Being humble or being able to be humbled is skill that I think some of us lose – to our own detriment. I’ve been a pilot, as of this writing, for over 37 years. I’ve lost friends to the sport but have many, many more who are alive and well…
In 1964, the late radio commentator Paul Harvey broadcast the following commentary. It bears repeating today. America has become a cannibal society, devouring its best.

The word “free” means just that. What we have today, though not government in genesis, is still highly dominated by rules that favor…
We are, or have been, burdened by countless communications that were never acknowledged. These communications hang there, like little armed bombs; owning us and dictating so many of our actions; in wait for that simple and certain acknowledgment. Each unacknowledged communication takes a piece of us and freezes it in a moment of waiting. Stilled,…
