President's Day bypass and FAA...

Hail to the Chief(s)...good excuse to close all the guvmint offices and banks, not to mention all the sales going on everywhere. That is where most of the praise seems to be going, rather than saying thanks for this thankless job to the current prez and those who have gone before. Nuff said.

And b-i-l Roger is having bypass surgery on this holiday, not how he would like to spend it but necessary. Guess he'll have a nice zipper to commemorate the occasion. Dick and I are heading out shortly to see the FAA doc to get our medicals renewed, something we have to do every two years in order to be legal to fly. This is a good time to report that son Brian passed his written pilot's exam last week...wooohaaaa!!! He's havin' fun, but will be happy to get his check ride over 'n done with in the near future. We'll have dinner at Dan and Joan's house tonight...so that is our day. Hope yours is good.
