March 25th, 2007As I type this, I am about 25,000 feet high up. Although, you wont read it until after I’ve landed. I am currently on an Air Canada flight to Ottawa from Toronto. My inspiration for this post was a collection of things. First, the insane power of the turbine engines as they forced the plane forward and then up. Second, seeing a large part of the city of Toronto just as daylight was hitting on what looked to be a cloudy day, and watching everything get smaller and smaller out the window. Lastly, as we just came up through the clouds, into a beautiful view of “cloud-scape” I’ll call it, where the sun shines no matter what, and gives all the clouds this great silver lining. It is truly a sight to see.
As some may know, the last two weeks I spent at my dad’s, doing a number of different things. I was able to get (a little) bit of work done towards the drum kit fund, and we also put a down-payment on a set. A very nice kit, and if you check for the post that rambles, you should find a link to it. I also got to visit with the “Wee-Man” as my father calls him, and we played some games, and I made a fool out of my self, much to the entertainment of David… and maybe anybody else who decided to watch.
Quick note: we are back through the clouds, starting our short decent to Ottawa International Airport, and again the view is spectacular. Seeing all the lakes, and waterways, and Ontario forests is awesome. I think I’ve found my new mode of transportation to my Dads. However, the bus ride can also be enjoyable as well.
Well, where was I… right, my Dads house. During my stay, I was also able to help my Dad go through some storage stuff, and the two of us had a good time looking at some pictures of him when he was my age, finding some school work he had done, and him showing me a few of his personal items. I had a great time, learning a little bit more about my Dad’s history, as we unfortunately do not get to spend enough time together, due to the physical distance between the two of us. We also took to our usual occurrence of late nights, that sometimes involve some home made wine or beer, and a whole lot of music. And we always eat great.
Now the seatbelt sign is on, and that means I’ll get yelled at in about ten seconds, if my laptop is on.
