When I started learning to soar about 4.5 years ago, I kept a journal to
capture my impressions and so I could go back to review later. Rather than
try to integrate it with my logbook, I wrote it on my computer (just a text
file edited with Notepad). Later on when blogging began to become popular
and easy, I transferred my journal to a blog because I thought other student
glider pilots might find it interesting. Some have, and have written back
with comments and questions and encouragement. And I go back to re-read the
early stuff every once in a while. So I agree with Jack who started this
thread: "what seems mundane today may very well brighten your days and
nights in the distant future".

Hi Jack,
when I returned to gliding in 2001 after exactly 30 years,
I looked through
my log book for some memories.
