pappies

had a good weekend. decided to take friday off and my dad came down so we would go around to some air museums. first stop was the cavanaugh museum at addison airport. mostly ww1 and ww2 planes. we were told that the pilot of the plane in the pic still comes by about once a year. they say he sits alone in the cockpit of the plane for about an hour not saying a word. must be bittersweet memories he carries with him. second stop was american airlines museum. it was anti-climatic as most of it was under construction. however, there's a flight simulator you can sit in and an old braniff pappy sits in there with you to guide you and show you what to do. i flew us under the golden gate bridge and in for a smooth landing, unfortunately i drove us right off the runway, into the grass probably killing all on board... oh well. at least no one had to freeze to death or be eaten by sharks in the bay, right?

fun day came to a crashing halt when we came back to my house to find my dad's dog having destroyed my blinds in the kitchen. apparently he has separation anxiety. good thing he's cute!
