Happy New Year, everyone!

At least we are hoping for one. I will know more later in the month.

What does one do on New Year's Eve with no television, way too cold to go anywhere, and we are too tired anyway? Well, we do what any folks who spend …

Let's see! Effective immediately, if you have a drone (you know, one of those weird helicopter gadgets that Amazon wants to use to drop packages on your head), you need to register yourself (not your drone) with the FAA.

They want to make sure they can find you if you …

Remember that ticket I got last week? Well that trip (through life) has been delayed. So they un-punched the thing!

Yesterday, in the middle of one of my classes, I got a call from Dr. Garcia in Houston. Since I was waiting for the results from my biopsy, I left …

Did you hear that? Last Thursday, I got my ticket punched for four more months at M.D. Anderson!

I am sweating up a storm, now!. I just finished a nine mile run (shuffle), and am trying to recover. According to my iPhone, which recorded every step, I burned 1964 calories, and scorched the course at a blistering 3.9 miles an hour. Pathetic! But, if I age-adjust the …

Today, on CNN, I heard a story about a tourist flight that crashed in Alaska. The pilot apparently flew into a mountain. How that happened is anybody's guess at the moment. As a Pilot, flying into something is always on your mind when you cannot see anything out of the …
