Summer 2011 in 50 Words or Less

Here's my official review of Summer 2011 in 50 words or less. It may actually be more than 50 words but if you combine certain words at the appropriate time and location, I'm sure you could come up with a number close to 50.

Killing the Television:

Instead of buying the new mammoth flat screen from Best Buy, we ditched our old one in favor of some new authors and board games. Turns out I'm a bit of a Monopoly phenom, dominoes is not just for old people and my wife hates Yahtzee. We used the money we saved on not buying the consumer protection plan to eat at Golden Corral 4 nights a week. I'm still convinced my gastro-intestinal problems are unrelated.

Broken Foot:

A wild afternoon on a wave runner at Lake Burton resulted in a stress fracture of my second metatarsal. What's a metatarsal? Not really sure, though my doctor swears it's located in my foot. Caution; if you're going to google this, be sure not to enter 'metart".

Dayton to San Diego in 3.6 Seconds

Well it took more like 2 days but I eventually landed an SR22 safely in San Diego after ferrying it from Dayton, Ohio. Awesome trip, except for the 50 knot headwinds over Arizona and the cab driver in Albuquerque who thought that texting was the safest way to drive.

I Lost my Flip Flops in Lagrange Bayou:

Well, there's not really much else to say about that. Except I really liked those flip flops.

Vacation to Fort Walton Beach:

This was amazing. A week on the beach with my family was awesome. There was a television where we stayed but I only used it to watch football. And All my Children. Everyday. Maybe some Dancing with the Stars and X-Factor. And Cheaters, and Ricki Lake re-runs. In fact, all I did was watch TV. Wish I would have spent some time with my parents...:( However, I do love Simon's new look.

New Business:

Started a new business this summer. If you're looking for aviation related applications for the iPhone and iPad, search the iTunes store for ProPilot. We've got about 20 applications up so far. Many more in the works. Note: If you're an apple programmer and charge less than $100 an hour (preferably $12 an hour) please contact me.

So that's about it. There were many more exciting things that probably happened, or maybe they didn't but use your imagination to fill in the blanks. I'm now looking forward to fall, or as we call it around here, "complaining season". Be on the lookout for my upcoming Fall Blog Special: "Leaves, so Many Colors!" and "Autumn, Why the N?"
