Facebook

I haven't posted much to my blog recently because I was thinking of shutting it down and just using Facebook. But I just can't do it. Not many people know about this site, and that gives me the freedom to be a little more quirky, and maybe share stuff I normally wouldn't. But Facebook is so easy and convenient. I can take a photo with my phone, and have it up on Facebook a few minutes later. That is great.. killer... love it. But my JethroMania blog will live on, even if I do not post often.

Pilot Hat

My airline recently made the pilot hat an optional piece of the uniform, and I just returned from my first trip without it. After wearing the darn thing for 21 years, it just felt weird to not have it. This got me thinking... in just a couple years I will have been an airline pilot for more years than I was not an airline pilot. Does that makes sense? Ughh, I'm getting old.

Birdie & Winter

Erik used some of his spending money to get a companion for "Birdie". The new parakeet has a real name, "Winter". The two birds were immediate friends. They frequently kiss (no kidding), and give each other neck massages with their beaks.

TWA ~ Grandpa Jack

Grandpa Jack flew at TWA from 1938-1968. He started on the DC2, and retired on the Convair 880. He was a chief-pilot and check-airman, and logged over 15,000 hours on the Super Connie. A friend from work has a dad who also worked at TWA, and he found Grandpa's signature in his logbook.

Here's a couple photos from Popper's scrapbook...

Love You Annie!

We had a little scare last month, but thank the Lord that it all turned out OK. I'll never forget the feeling when I was called into the doctors office after Annie's surgery. Joy and relief. We took a family cruise this month to celebrate.
