The past week has been a series of emotional crashes and joys.
1. My student Cameron got his Commercial Certificate. It was a long time coming and he showed his examiner things that she’d never seen in a checkride. Maybe I had something to do with it, but honestly, it was entirely his personality that made some amazing things happen. Everyone at
@slingpilotacademy Long Beach was excited to support him.
2. Meanwhile,
@conley_good also nailed his Instrument checkride in record time challenging me to keep up with his intense level of study and focus.
3.-4. Samesies just different angles.
5.
@tatsfedez and Moose are such a joy. I still can’t believe I get to come home every night to these two. I still haven’t paid all my cosmic debt for any Misdeeds I’ve done in my life so I appreciate what gold I’ve been given while I have it.
6. Thes clouds I saw the other day represent the sleepless haze I’ve been in while I’ve been on a roller coaster that never seems to end.
7. LA on fire at sunset from Palos verdes.
8. A moment of reflection in Pismo.
9. Moose and Tati again because I can.
10. My family bought us one of those solo stoves and it suddenly feels like we’re camping at home.
11. 12. Moose and my boo
13. My buddy and instructor,
@jeremiahknopf and his wife
@jen.knopf just revealed their baby’s gender and it’s pink!
14. I’m researching columbarium’s to bury my parents at their request. Ive been surprised by the emotional weight of what that means for me as a child and as a person who will also eventually die. I’m left with those existential questions that aren’t said, but are always packed in the back of our minds for the days when we can’t look away anymore.
15. Ok, now here’s the real post: did you know that each
@lego block has a part number embossed on it that’s so small, it’s hard to see it. They’ve done this for decades and I’ve never known this or seen it. It drives me crazy how cool and hidden it is.
