Since I started flying power the last few years my mom likes to tell

My 90 year old Mom keeps asking me "Are you still doing the flying
thing?". When I say yes, she gets a worried look and says, "I wish
you wouldn't do that sigh." I think that she just can't get her
head around the whole no engine thing. Of course, neither can a power
parachute friend of mine. I even get strange looks from straight
power airplane guys ... "How do you do that?"

plus the classic line about homebuilt aircraft: "Well my chocolate
chip cookies are homemade too but I dont take them up to 5000 feet!"
