Good start, bad 2nd lap

My flight out of Dallas was delayed, switched gates 3 times then once boarded, we find out a small hole in cargo hold needs to be fixed. Back off the plane. Still waiting.

A Lil Sumpin About Airplane Flying'

I worked this short piece about airplane flying up on the short leg to Dallas. Hope you enjoy.

That infernal squeeking!  The plane lunged to and fro. He was sure they were accelerating, an unwise decision in his opinion, but how could you tell at 28,000 feet. These kind of motions were what killed teenagers on hilly backroads. His stomach crying out, "Please God, chill out up there!"  Everyone around him stoic. Damn business travelers, they had seen it all. Nothing phased them. He tried to find solace in the complementary magazine.  J-Lo's newest pop culture endeavor was almost taunting him. That's right this will be the last thing you ever read.   He was getting ready to make sure his priorities were in line.  Then the clouds broke.  They leveled out.  Rattling overheads slowing their pace.  Sun, bathing fluffy spires.  He found a new joy and resilience in that moment.  Everything was fine.  The captain came over the speaker, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are starting our descent."

What is Life? GRRRR!

There are questions, and then there are QUESTIONS. This is the latter. What is Life? My answer, GRRRR! It is as follows. I got to commute to work on my bike yesterday, which was nice.  I also got a fence up around our garden.  Got to keep the rabbits out you know.  But all this led to a great tiredness, so I went to bed quick.  As has been the case the last few days when I finally lay down ideas start to flood my mind.  If I get up I don't sleep, if I sleep I don't get the ideas jotted down.  Damn this infernal business! I have travel coming up so maybe on the plane ride or in airport can write.  I have about five ideas or so that I can go between so no burning out cause of lost trains of thought or lack of je ne sais quoi.  I have a deadline in two weeks the other at the end of the month.  But such is the life of Warren Danbar Bizarro author

First Spring Bike Commute

After a week or so of conditioning, I'm going to be making my first commute to work on my bike this spring.  Hopefully the ideas will flow as the wheels turn. I have a couple of starters that seem like they might have some place to go. I'm real excited to get out of the humdrum of winter, even though it hasn't been too bad. I feel I can allow the ideas to simmer as I just focus on pedalling and rhythm in a very zen manner. I never feel the endorphines per se, but the high I get is the ideas swirling and taking shape.
