Sojourner - Traveling with the “Canman”

How can one describe the feeling cuddling a newborn grandchild who is content as long as she can her my heart beating. Iside, my grandmother's namesake newest family member.  It is indescribable and part of a circle of life that I find so satisfying.   Takes me back to the days of cuddling and napping with my own kids.  Time flies so fast!  Iside may not remember me when she is grown.  To that end we videotaped my "welcome to the world" birthday card and her response was priceless! Video Now,  I still feel too young to be the doting full time grandfather,  but helping out my children for a few days was quite enjoyable. Now back to internazionale adventures! 

My second annual roadtrip to the Oshkosh, Wisconsin for AIRVENTURE 2024 and a delightful respite from Texas heat! AIRVENTURE is an amazing event. for one week this little airport becomes the busiest airport in the world hosting a  spectacular display of experimental and redtored aircraft aircraft embellished with enthusiasm,  politeness and cleanliness from the half million attendees.  If only all of American society behaved in a similar fashion.  I was there to support an SFTE STEM event to introduce young people to flight test.  Here is my LinkedIn post .   I also took the opportunity to create a campaign video to showcase my platform running for President of The Society of Flight Test Engineers.  Can't believe I am entering "politics!"
