But I refuse to get older today. :) Which was actually on May 4... but I'm still celebrating. <br /><br />It's going to be a very lucky year! I like this... "blessed beyond belief" could be another description of lucky. And yet...isn't that a belief too? Keep that thought processes going just the way you do. You're awesome and today will be your lucky day!

Then we manifest that luck. The other question... <br /><br />If I am visiting my daughter close to reserve days, which happens often... I bring my bag and enough clothes in the event I get an assignment to deadhead to Atlanta or LAX. That way I can just go direct. <br /><br />But I'm so close to the airport it makes it work nice for me. I had a 12 hour layover at my home this time. Just enough time to sleep... do laundry and organize. <br /><br />Morale of this story... it takes a ton of organization to be organized. Always have a backup plan. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-25899092255880309122013-05-20T21:44:53.585-07:002013-05-20T21:44:53.585-07:00Ken, This was a super awesome day!!!

There, and in the comm...A wonderful post, Karlene. There, and in the comments, I think you nailed it. IMO, "luck' seems to be the sum of opportunity and availability. Many of us have opportunities, but they become "Lucky" events only when we scream, "Heck yes! I CAN do that." As one slightly older than your tender years, I'm still learning the great benefits of saying "Yes," a lot more often. Again, I think you've got it nailed. Trivial aside question: During your off-duty travels to visit family etc., but possibly subject to a reserve duty call, do yo travel with your full working kit, uniforms, pilot bag etc., or do you have them stashed at your official base? Managing just the laundry for a week-long short call assignment could be a challenge if not well organized. And so nice that you can pop in to visit kids and especially the grand kids when heading to/from someplace else. Best wishes for more 'luck.' I think you earn yours. -C.Cedarglenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468497492189762095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-70952993707948348882013-05-20T13:14:24.898-07:002013-05-20T13:14:24.898-07:00Today was my lucky day, because a certain airline ...Today was my lucky day, because a certain airline captain, known as @capnaux was on a layover in Detroit, and I was able to have lunch with him today, and talk about all things aviation!
