March 21, 2019: 92 Max

March 18, 2019: Back in the Mix
It was the end of my LA trip on Monday; back to Chicago it was. No boarding delays. No runway delays. No issues at all. Slept most of the flight; woke up and we were making our final descent into … Continued
March 17, 2019: Luck of the Irish
St. Patty’s Day…I’ve never really celebrated that big. If it coincides with March Madness, so be it. I wasn’t even wearing green; I had my Bears shirt on. And yes, I am a quarter Scotch Irish. Nah, no big deal … Continued
