Does this ease off a bit with time? I'm only half kidding about the
above. Last week I flew my best long distance flight ever, and I was
no-kidding giddy about it for DAYS. Fine, but now I seem to be
obsessed with getting a LONGER flight in. Am I just sick or does it
affect others the same way?

Thx
Jim


I got back from a 12-day trip to a nationals where we flew 10 of the
days, totalling several thousand kilomers and probably 40 hours. I
promised the wife that I wouldn't even LOOK at the sky for two
weeks. A few days later, the last big cold front of spring pushes
through, resulting in a couple of days with 1000K potential.

Me. "Honey...."

The wife has pretty much figured it out. "You'll just be miserable
moping around the house and making the rest of us miserable. Just go
and..." No need to finish that sentence.

So, another two days of flying, some 1600K and 15 hours more.

Now, I really promise, I won't even LOOK at the sky for two weeks...
