The Wings
I have a pair of pilot’s wings.

Yesterday I had to travel to New York City for some business projects.ย Rather than drive all the way down and all the way back, I rode Amtrak.ย A little relaxation, a little scenery, this that and the other thing.ย Plus, as I’ve said in this blog previously, I come from a long line of…
