The only news I have to report isn't about me. My friend Matt is getting married! In Las Vegas in April, but he's not eloping to Las Vegas - he lives there already. So we're going to Vegas, W00T!
Cheryl is going through some major upheaval and life changes which, though painful now, I think will be very good in the long run.
In our local news, there is the story of a private jet stolen from St. Augustine, Florida which turned up, unscathed, at Briscoe Airfield in Gwinnett County (just north of the A-T-L). I dunno about this - stealing is wrong and we should abide by the law, but there are certain crimes that are just so downright ballsy and cool that I think the perp should get a freebie. I mean, he stole a private jet, flew it (had to be instrument flight, not VFR because of the weather), evaded rader - maybe turned off the transponder - and landed safely completely undetected by witnesses. I say that deserves an 'attaboy', not an arrest. But I'm not in charge. YET.

I don't know if he was high, but get this: this was at least the THIRD airplane he'd stolen! Well, one he rented but it was supposed to be rented for a local flight, he flew it to another state and TOTALLED IT! And we think we've got issues...

I wish you WERE in charge!
Is there any way I can be of help to Cheryl? Does she need another listener? I am available if I can help her.
