OK...so here goes. I plan to write various musings about the things I see from day to day, and will draw some comparisons to lessons that I have learned over the years while serving as a Latter Day Saint missionary in Australia, a firefighter in California, a physician, and a military officer all over the world...ok, except for Antarctica. I plan to write these things from time-to-time to share some ideas and ventilate my mind, but mostly I write to show how those who come behind me can be wiser than I have been over the years.
So, here are the flight rules for this blog:
1. The guy in the left seat- that's me- calls the shots as to what goes in this blog. I will consider input but the final say belongs to the guy at the controls.
2. That said, everyone has a say- if you think I am off base or have been loose with matters of fact, say so.
3. Respect for other's points of view is paramount. Even if the idea sounds like it comes from some pencil-necked, weak-wristed, ignorant, elitist, eastern-educated, celebutard left coast liberal it might have merit. I said might have merit...
4. All flying stories are to be discounted by 50%. The value is in the telling...not the precision.
I plan to write about all sorts of topics because I either have a wide range of interests or seriously need strong medication for pervasive ADD. Generally my best writing comes in the mornings because that is when I seem to be at my peak mental performance. Also, I practice medicine best in the mornings- it is a very bad idea to come to my clinic five minutes before closing after I have been slugging it out all day- would you buy a car made on a Friday afternoon? I thought not. Usually it is a bad idea to have your chronic back pain that you've had for a year cared for by a guy who is in a hurry to get home. That piece of medical advice is a freebie...there might be more in the offing.
