My First Blog from 40,000 Feet


I'm getting to that age in my life where I'm continually amazed by new feats of technology. The fact that I can write this today from my seat on my flight to San Diego still astounds me.

I'm not a guy who travels very much, so this being my fifth time on a plane in the last three weeks, six on Saturday, is not something I'm accustomed to. I have a new found respect for you folks that do this all the time, I know it gets old. Sometimes I think it would be fun to have a job that requires me to travel more, but the old adage about greener grasses is starting to apply. Not to mention friends of mine who spend most of their days in airports have relayed to me that it wears on you.

There is a song called "Traveler" by Fernando Ortega that says "Heavenly Father, remember the traveler, bring us safely home." My heart goes out to all the travelers and their families today and that they would arrive "safely home."

Now if they'd just put electrical outlets on the plane I'd be set.
