SNF happens at the exact time we're getting ready to plant I'll never
make SNF unless they change the date.

Same here. Plus, I'd still spend an hour in the car driving to and from
KSTE to get the airplane. There is definitely an allure to flying into

OSH,
but for me it makes no sense.


Sounds like Sun N Fun will be more your cup o' tea. At least you'd get
to fly in!

Yeah, and we'll never see SnF again unless they change the dates to
coincide with my kids' spring break.

Sounds like you and I will be crying in our beers together next April,
eh?

Nah.... we'll still be talking about the Adventure that we took in March!

Take the kids out of school for a week. Which do you think they will
remember more 20 years from now, a week of school or spending a few days on
the flight line with Mom & Dad?

We did that in '03 and '04. By '05, my son was in advanced classes,
and he told me in no uncertain terms that missing a week of high school
would be disastrous.

That was one of my proudest moments with him, actually. It took a lot
of guts to say that, when everything in him wanted to go to Florida.

While I applaud his dedication I think we both know that unless the week was
during exams or such disastrous would be a bit of an over statement. I have
a 15 year old. I fully understand overstatements.

Well, I'm not sure. Some of the homework that boy brings home is quite
complex. His advanced math classes alone are enough to give me a
sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Of course, I was an English
major -- so what do I know about math?

Still, even Mary -- who took advanced calculus in college -- often had
to read the book to help Joe with his homework. She says that this
year (his junior year in H.S.) he'll be beyond her capability to help
him.

Too bad the government has abandoned our space program -- he'd make a
great rocket scientist. Maybe the Chinese will be hiring in 2011?
