I loves me some Steve C <3 <3 <3
I've been an adult for . . . well nevermind

but some of my mentors are nearly half my age! I try to soak it all in and take the advice that fits, and just appreciate that some one was willing to spend the time to share the rest.
As Steve mentions, experience is a great teacher. That reminds me of a plaque that was on my kitchen wall from when I was a small child that read,
"Learn from the mistakes of others . . . you won't have enough time to make them all yourself."
Well . . . enough of that.
OK . . .One last thing, some of the people I have met through this site I have become very fond of. As a matter of fact I have had dinner with seven of them over the last few weeks in two different cities. I refer to them as my "internet friends" but my life is enriched by them, and I have learned from each of them, not just about aviation, but about life (and a lot about you kids lingo!).
This place is special.
Welcome to JC and hopefully we will meet you at one of our M and G s or even at the big event in Las Vegas this October.
