Who Signed Me Up?

Running on Fumes

April 29

Let me apologize first. It got...hectic for awhile. So if this post looks like a mini version of me wrote it, then...she didn't. It was me. At this moment, I'm probably still running off of adrenaline, coffee, and a single hand's worth of sleep. Two words: Air. Show. Help.

Dubbed the "Ice Queen" for the duration of the weekend, I found a home in my cozy club car, making a million trips to various food and beer tents providing much needed ice, soda, and chips, on occasion. They even gave me a walkie talkie, of which I was extra careful because I didn't want to accept any fines for using my Sailor language. Disclaimer: I did say one bad word.

I'm laughing because it seems I took a lot of selfies yet I have no actual Air Show photos. In hindsight, I saw the Thunderbirds perform at least 3x and I saw demos and reenactments at least twice. It truly was an incredibly successful weekend. As I finish this post Monday morning before publishing, my feet ache but my heart is full. I met wonderful people, worked with the best of the best, and was privileged to support the public and the installation.

I love this stuff. But if we didn't do it for another 7 yrs or so, that's fine by me.

And on the subject of ice -

I found my summer activity: Curling! A whole club dedicated to learning and perfecting curling techniques! Looking for my winter gear right now. Also, I'm taking volunteers to be my partner. Must love laughing, and falling. Will train.

I ask you -

Have you ever attended an Air Show?

Did you know there were curling clubs? Me neither!

Tell me your summer plans!
