I am having a bit of a weird deja vu. Or something. Maybe it is a blending of fiction and reality. Whatever. Last night I watched the season premier of Lost, a story about a group of people who lose their way over the Pacific Ocean and crash land on a mysterious island thousands of miles off-course.
And can I say, briefly, "holy cow." Could that season premier have been any better? If you have any comments about the season premier, put them on the previous post. I would love to hear your thoughts and/or reactions. It used to be that I could care less about TV network programming but now I am having a hard time limiting myself from all the great television shows being written and produced. And speaking of watching television last night...
I am watching CNN last night and see the unfolding drama of the Jet Blue airline whose landing gear malfunctions immediately after take-off and who after flying around in circles for three hours trying to see if they can fix in air, decide to crash land the plane. That pilot was amazing. Watching that plane land, seeing the pilot oh so gingerly set down the front-end, seeing the tires heat up, then burst into flame and dissolve, finally coming to a halt...wow.
I hope this guy pilot is typical of general pilot expertise, because...
Here I am at 9:22 a.m. on a Frontier airplane on my way to Denver. My wife is asleep next to me and I am getting a bunch of tasks done in a shortened work-week. We are going out to Colorado for a wedding. My friend Chris Jehle's younger brother Alex (who I have known since he was a fifth grader and I was a "sevie") is getting married deep in the mountains. We will be on a 4000 acre ranch outside of Estes Park called
The Devil's Thumb. Today we will tool around Denver a bit, visiting old haunts and then later catching up with some old friends for whom this brief reunion is too long in the making. In the morning we will pick up a couple of folks at DIA and go up into the hills. I am really looking forward to this week-end.
And if you are reading this on my blog, it means we have landed safely and are not stranded somewhere in the south Pacific, nor sitting on a tarmac with our wheels scraped off. Wait, what is the weird music? Are those vibrations I feel? Who is that woman sitting handcuffed the next seat over? What is tha..........

I was happy to see a new season of Arrested Development hit the small screen this week!
Quick Quote.
Lucille: I'm giving the company to Buster.
Michael: Buster? You're giving the company to a guy who thought the blue on the map was land?

Tim,
Happy Landings, I met a guy up in boston who attended JW for quite a while in undergrad...we were wondering about the guides you created with NKOC - do you have to buy the whole box set to get them? How exactly does that work? hoping to save a bit of money since we already own all three but would love to have the guides too. Any suggestions
