You know, it is very important to set your priorities...
I lucked out and was able to rearrange my schedule to let me fly that day.
Take care.

I returned a few hours ago from my flight to celebrate the 100th
anniversary. [...]

Nice. I missed flying today, but I got a one-day reprieve on some
pressing
matters, and I'm hoping to sneak out tomorrow. It will no longer be the
17th anywhere in the world, but better late than never, right?

We did luck out today and have some great flying weather (which made it
all
the harder to keep working rather than heading to the airport). I did
happen to catch several large flights of airplanes doing a parade. I
don't
know where they started (though I suspect the well-formed flights of RVs
probably came from Arlington, north of here, where all the homebuilts hang
out) but it was a lot of fun, and I saw probably 50 airplanes go by in the
span of about 30 minutes, in a half-dozen different groups.

I'm a little ticked that no one invited me to participate in the parade,
but
that's probably because I don't spend enough time hanging out with other
pilots in real life. Gotta do something about that...
