Thanks for the ping - I like Kevin's column, and appreciate how he handled the envious insurance guy. My dad was a 33 year airline pilot, and although he didn't talk about it much, there *were* days when he would have given most anything to be down here instead of up here. Fortunately, he had a well-developed sense of duty and responsibility, and knew that he had the skills to get through it.
The guy who gave him five bucks to stay away from his plane - ROFL!

The guy who gave him five bucks to stay away from his plane - ROFL! I read that part to my wife. Although she's humor-challenged she laughed out loud. (Don't tell her I said that!)

(In my humble opinion, the new expression for backing down from a fight should be called 'frenching')
