Here endth the lecture.

I understand precisely what you're saying -- no need to apologize for
lecturing.

There *have* been times when I was simply too beat to fly. Mary has
often deferred flying "duties" (darn!) to me when she was too tired to
fly.

I learned earlier this year (after mountain biking all day on
Washington Island) that now (at age 48) I have physical limitations
that I never faced before, which precludes me from safe flying.
Although I made the flight safely, I found that flying a challenging
approach to a short grass strip was unwise after working out all day
long -- and I won't make that mistake again.

In this case, however, it was that mental "buzzing" that comes from
trying to keep a hundred balls in the air at once. I wasn't
"physically" tired, and the flight served as a pleasant and complete
mental rejuvenator.
