This Year is Going To Be Way Better Than Last Year…
Wow, it’s 2014. A year when I thought I would probably be stroking my long white beard while my hovership is driven around by my robot butler. Sadly those awesome things haven’t come to fruition yet. Although I have noticed some white in my whiskers so maybe a long white beard is in my …

Flying into the Bear’s Cage: Me and The El Reno Tornado (Sort Of)
Last week a huge tornado pummeled El Reno, Oklahoma, just west of Oklahoma City and I was there just 40 minutes before the touchdown. I know people lost their lives in the storm as well as the one less than two weeks before in Moore, Oklahoma, so it’s nothing to trivialize. (You can donate to the Red Cross Relief fund by …

Become the Cyborg, Not the Robot
One of my all-time favorite movies as a kid was “Robocop.” It was the first R-rated movie I was allowed to watch and it was a doozy. (Oh, for the record I am not talking about the new Robocop that came out last year, I don’t know nothing abut that shiz.) In the first ten minutes, …

Meth, Mormons and Guns: The Idaho Falls Story

“Can you fly? My eyes are bleeding.”
I was going through security at five thirty in the morning recently and saw a little boy, my guess is four years old, standing in the middle of the airport wailing at the top of his lungs, with his blanket at his feet. His mother came over and tried to comfort him but with little …

The First Officer’s Lament Part 3: The Captain has Gone Rogue
Shoot! The Holidays have passed and I haven’t even finished the First Officers Lament! It’s been over two weeks since I last posted. My first New Year’s resolution is to have something up at least once a week! And not to make it too long! And not to always be drunk when I am writing! …

The First Officer’s Lament, Part 1
It’s been nine months since that JetBlue captain on flight 191, freaked out, got tricked by his first officer to leave the cockpit of the plane and was wrestled to the ground by passengers. From a passenger’s perspective, I can only imagine how terrifying that experience would be. You are hanging out, watching movies on …
