While most despise the long flight I have a routine where they’re kind of fun. I rarely read or watch movies when I’m home. And I never do a crossword puzzle. But on long flights I enjoy all. Toss in a couple glasses of red and an Ambien and long flights are fun. I … Read more

Granny and I rolled in to Encinitas, California late yesterday afternoon. We came down here because tonight night I speak to Golden State Flycasters.
