Matterhorn (aka Zermatt)






Matterhorn (aka Cervino in Italian) from Swiss side near Zermatt.  Just a beautiful 2 hour drive from Arona where I stay thru tunnels. I much prefer the way Italians and Swiss preserve their scenery with tunnels. Mozzafiato (Breathtaking)

Southeastern Road Trip - Me and my GPT

Image
  Longest solo road trip of my life, tooling around the southeastern United States in my CR-V. A a combo of SFTE and family engagements.   First stop, Nashville, to celebrate my grandson’s birthday,        And my trusty Taylor!      Rocket City SFTE Chapter Then, Huntsville, Alabama, to meet with the SFTE Rocket City Chapter.  Then on to Greensboro, NC for the Flight Test Safety Workshop, where I gave my stump speech on the impact of technology and AI in flight testing, especially in risk management. Again heard more validation of MIT's STPA. Flight Test Safety Workshop North Carolina SFTE Chapter at FTSW Then up to Blacksburg, Virginia, to visit the Virginia Tech SFTE chapter.  The graduating engineers are so well trained with impressive internships and experiences that are quite impressive.  Yet some struggle to find a job?  A little puzzling?   Virginia Tech University On the spur of the moment, I decided...

Italy Top to Bottom

Velle dei Templi- Agrigento, Sicily 17 fantastical days in Italia, where a 2500-mile odyssey all came together in ad hoc fashion. Hiking up to stay at a rustic stone cabin at the base of Monte Rosa, a meaningful road trip from the Alps to Sicily exploring the mysteries of love, death, history, and love, stumping for SFTE,  enjoying new culinary delights of southern Italia, playing guitar with new acquaintances and deepening relationships old and new Italian friends.  There were challenges; losing my wallet in the mountains, weather, lodging, navigation, mindfulness, taking time to be still, ego, and attachment. But, if emptiness is "going with the flow" and "living in the present" then this trip was not only delightful but a model for growth and enlightenment  I arrived in Milan early on the morning of 1 Nov exhausted having chosen to try "AA Premium Economy" (not worth it) Even with an ambien it was a fitful time. My old friend Francesca was "chomp...

A whirlwind trip across countries and continents.  New adventures, friends, and technologies, juxtaposed with glimpses of the 1930s, offer a cautionary tale about Europe’s future.   And through it all, I am pondering the questions: Who am I? What is my deepest desire?  Heading to Europe to attend the SFTE symposium in Prague, I visited Italy first.  My plan was to stay again in Venegono at La ManSardina with the hope of recreating my November experiences.  But as it was a long weekend to celebrate Italy’s Independence, I learned too late that my friends had made other plans.  I was disappointed. But recognized this as an opportunity to exercise Anthony Dello’s non-attachment and Eckhart Tolle’s “living in the now” philosophies.   So the first night in Italy, I went out with Leonardo flight test colleagues for a fun dinner event.   One of them (Simone) invited me to go sailplaning , which turned out to be an  incredible exp...
