Me - A Welcome of Sorts

I drive planes! Some people call me a pilot but since so much of the romance of air travel has been removed these days I just drive ‘em. I love planes. I love what I do. I love life but I do get wound up by various things. These are generally just a ripple on the coffee cup but I do get bugged all the same. Things that top the list are inconsiderate people, those who don’t listen and lack of respect. You’ll no doubt learn and understand more about me and what bugs me as this blog goes on, if you continue to read it, or more importantly I guess, if I continue to write it. I’m middle aged I guess. Approaching 40 to be precise. I don’t feel that old but my passport tells me I am as do the times I can’t do the things with my son, Wataru (Ruru), that I would like to. I feel young, want to do young people things, but often can’t due to the commitments that come with the number that is my age. I’m trying not to be an old person wearing young person’s clothes and thinking that makes them ‘cool’ and don’t worry, you won’t see me with a pony tail ever and I am sure the thought of me wearing a thong has just put you off your next meal.

A lot of this is going to be written while I am away from home on my journeys around the planet. You’ll hear about what I have done, what I have tried and what has got me excited in both the positive and negative sense. I hope you enjoy it.
