Party like its 1999
I was going through my old documents stored on my old computer (new computer story coming soon!) and guess what I came across… a Christmas letter written by Kenny to his friends and family in 1999. It made me smile. Since we are all friends and family here, I thought I’d share it… Well, what a year 1999 was! I managed to keep incredibly busy. Let’s do a month by month replay of what I managed to squeeze into last year: January – I started my second semester at Christian Heritage College (CHC) in San Diego, CA. I am a junior majoring in Aviation Flight Technologies (a pilot). I am…

Subway, Eat Fresh!
It was a dark and stormy night, actually it has been all weekend. So what do we do on a dark and stormy Sunday night? Well, let’s go back a few days…. we had purchased a bag of potatoes because wanted to have baked potatoes for dinner one night and everyone knows that you can buy two potatoes by the pound which runs you like $2.00 or you can commit and buy way more than you really need and get the 5 pound bag for only $2.98! (gluttony and overspending – we are good Americans!) We have two of the five hundred potatoes that we bought as bakers, so what…

Kenny’s 30th
As you all know, last weekend was Kenny’s 30th Birthday! Saturday morning we woke up bright and early, jumped in the Prius and headed up to Hollywood. Our first stop were the La Brea Tar Pits. I hadn’t been there since the 4th grade when I was “researching” for my science project… “Trapped in Tar… Fossils from the Ice Age” (yeah, I won 1st place… I was a nerd!) Kenny had never been there so it was fun to walk around and check out the fossils and try to avoid the pits 🙂 Next we headed over to the Walk of Stars and had a look around before we jumped…

I turned 30
I turned thirty this past weekend. Only a handful of you can truly appreciate this. If you are more than a year away from turning thirty, then the gravity of actually transitioning from your youthful twenties into your true adulthood thirties is lost. If you have hit thirty already and are looking at thirty-five or forty or more, the gravity is again lost because you look back and say, “well, it isn’t that bad, at least you’re not turning forty” or something along those lines. It is small band of companions that I have here; a select few that can truly appreciate this feeling. Last year, when I hit twenty-nine,…

Happy Birthday to me and Happy Thanksgiving too!
I had a birthday yesterday… I am getting old. I can deal with it though because Kenny is soooooo much older (he is turning 30 this year!!!) This weekend I was so lucky to have Kenny home for 2 full days (Thanksgiving and the day after) and most of the day Saturday and Sunday! Whoo hoo! Thanksgiving day we hung out at home, watched movies and grilled up some great steaks for dinner. It was a perfect day. The day after Thanksgiving… Black Friday… we decided that nothing was worth us getting up at 4 am so we woke up around 7 and made our way to a few stores.…

How old do you think I am?
Okay, so I turn thirty this December. I know, so you, my beloved readers, just rolled your eyes back into your head thinking, “if only I were thirty again!” But get over it, this my tale of woe. So I am constantly barraged with over-aging. I have been aged as old as, oh say, forty-five to fifty year old! Of course, everyone does some major back pedaling when I tell them I am yet to hit thirty. It is the typical “well you don’t look that old, you just act that way” or “well, its because of everything you have done, you know, a flight school and all.” It always…

Presidential Hopeful….
I will keep this short story, well, short. I had just landed at Chicago’s Executive Airport and I was helping unload our passengers and get them into the FBO. I was walking our lady client to the door, and, being the gentleman that I am, held the door open for her. As she passed through, I noticed a large group of people also coming in from the ramp having just disembarked a $43 million Gulfstream jet. I decided to continue to hold the door for the group. As they approached, I noticed the man at the head of the pack, and he looked awfully familiar from twenty feet away. I…

And the winner is…
David & Jamie! Kenny was in Speedway, Indiana yesterday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where they have the Indy 500! He got to ride around the track and check the place out (pictures to come later this weekend). Congratulations David & Jamie for guessing correctly (and Allison for a close runner up)… We salute the redneck in you all! 🙂
