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!

A poem about not much of Anything


 An inexperienced person might think

The world is full of beautiful art
Everything beautiful as the
 Garden and flowers
But remember the world is full of ugly things

False truths made to look like

Fact
 Honesty
 Knowledge
The home is only

A visible mold of invisible matter,

Mineral springs and delicacy
an artistic creation

Without personal expression 
is akin to the portrait painter

In their performance
Gift
 Grace
 charm
 color
the specialist in principles of truth and harmony
 has the advantage of
 beauty
 simplicity
 quality,
which is apt to be
