Which begs the question: How can you be married to someone with whom you
can't share the passion for flight?

My wife becomes, or can become physically ill in several ways when
flying. Is it no surprise flying isn't her favorite thing to do? Yet
she encouraged me to get my license knowing that she would not be able
to participate much. She also hasn't discouraged my efforts at
building an airplane and in return I tried hard not to ignor the
family while building.

But since she really doesn't want to go places in a small airplane and
barely tolerates flying in the big busses, I'm wondering why I'm
building now.

The weather prevents flying on numerous days around here and even when
it's benign, it's often so hazy that flying isn't much fun. Getting
instrument rated is out of the question because it's too expensive and
I would have to rent that much more to stay current, all to fly in
weather that's no fun flying in anyway, or at least no fun for the
passengers.

So perhaps the sport ticket is the way to go, at least for me anyway.
I'd like to finish the homebuilt, but the cost of finishing it is
beginning to look daunting.
