Airplane Stories and My Life as a Human Being

My photo
I am a former U.S. Naval Aviator and recently retired Captain for a major U.S. airline. I love to write, read, walk and laugh. I have started a new blog named "Endless Travels: the Life and Times of an Airline Pilot". It can be found at myendlesstravels@blogspot.com. I will concentrate stories about aviation on that blog, leaving SheerProfundity for other stories I may write. "Endless Travels" is a rather pedestrian effort to share some of the experiences I have had as a pilot, both Military and Civilian. After 42 years of flying I must say "I got a million of them". Also, on "My Endless Travels" there will be occasion to offer traveling advice from the Captain's perspective. Some may find this helpful in today's rather stressful traveling environment. Note: I have moved a number of aviation postings over from my this blog to myendlesstravels@blogspot.com. Please feel free to check out both blogs. Thanks!

The Beginning

To those who have chosen to read my blog and to those whom have stumbled upon it through good fortune or misfortune, I welcome you. This is my first offering as a blogger and I would like to state my intentions as to what I intend accomplish. I don't have the slightest idea!
I suspect that I will develop the format as I go. Rest assured, I have no inclinations towards turning this blog into a political rant. There are far to many of those around already and they grow tiresome very quickly. I think I shall use this amazing forum to pen some thoughts of the day, tell some very interesting flying stories and talk about my observations of life in general.

Is the concept original? Who knows. With the astounding numbers of folks blogging nowadays I suspect not. I believe, though, that we all have a little something to say about something. That is where I think this blog is headed. It is something about something-or something about nothing. Where ever it takes me I will use my love of writing coupled with some remarkable life experiences and try to construct a site that is fun to read, somewhat informative and leaves you, the reader, with something to think about as you go through your day.
I will probably post erratically in the beginning until I have a set pattern that I can work with and then settle down into a regulated sequence of postings.
Thank you for reading. A shaky start, to be sure. But nonetheless, a start.
M.I.T.
