House~ma, Flea!

Never saw Coal Miner's Daughter. Yes, on the list.

I don't even like those big-small commuter planes. Give me a giant honkin' sky tank, and I can (sort of) relax. Some wispy little thing where you can count the passengers and crew on both hands? NO NO NO.

From back a ways. My family is the exact opposite. My cousin had a flight school. My son's 18 yo best friend is already soloing. I had lots of flight training, but never completed. We are very comfortable in a tiny aircraft where we have a sense of control, but less comfy in the big airliners. In a small plane I know I can land in a bunch of places even if my engines fail. The huge planes are way more complex.

Small planes give me a terrible wiggins. I don't even like those big-small commuter planes. Give me a giant honkin' sky tank, and I can (sort of) relax. Some wispy little thing where you can count the passengers and crew on both hands? NO NO NO.

I like when they are small enough to feel what is happening.

What is this chocolate tea of which you speak? I'll bet the tea place around the corner just closed. Damn. I need I stay awake for two more hours of rehearsal.

Exactly. Air is bumpy, yo!

Chocolate and tea, two tastes that may well work together. Haven't had the tea, but I am very fond of the chocolate variety of coffee that we had at the office. One of the other people brought it in so I don't know what it was.

However, if I had believed all the signs (not supported by the FDA, tho) I'm sure I could have cured anything up to and including cancer with the right herb.

Yes, I was told the chrysthanthemum tea I was buying was "detoxifying." I bought it anyway, and it is yummy. In a I-like-to-drink-flowers kind of way.

I have a recipe for a Chocolate Earl Grey Cake that's wonderful.

Amy....share please?

The few times I've flown in 12-seater planes, my ears truly appreciated the lower altitude they fly at compared to jumbo jets.

I may be remembering this wrong, but i would swear there was a study awhile back that Rock Stars actually do have a higher death rate than your average bear. And almost all of the difference in the study was explained by hard drugs (including alcohol) and small planes.

Air is bumpy, yo!
