“I fly helicopters.”

9 01 2009

How do you compete with that?  I say all the time, that Curtis has the COOLEST job on staff.  Not ONLY does he get to help pastor some amazing people.  He is the ONLY one who can say “But I fly helicopters!”  Not “I have flown IN one.”  Or “I RIDE in one.”  “I FLY STINKIN’ HELICOPTERS”.  Well, today I got about as close as I’ll ever come to flying a military helicopter.  My wife has been wanting to go out and get a tour of F.E. Warren AF Base for a while now and I thought it was about time I stepped up and made it happen.  So I arranged for Curtis do give as a tour through the base today.  The whole military life, base life, history of all the stuff fascinates me.  Military people I’m sure hate it, it really is interesting to me.  So it was cool to get an inside look at some of the stuff.  We were driving around and Big C says “You wanna see the helicopters?”  “Ummm, is there sugar in syrup?  THEN YES”  Curtis took us into the chopper hangar and showed us around.  Then he says “You can get in if you want.”  SWEET.  Pretty amazing to me.  Here is my picture as close as I’ll ever be to flying one.  These are the same kind of choppers flown in Vietnam.  A couple of the ones at FE Warren were ACTUALLY flown there.  Pretty crazy!

Haircut

9 01 2009

I shave my head EVERY two weeks on a Friday morning.  I go to the barber and shave it all off.  Jonah, who has LOVED his long hair for a while now just out of the blue said “I want to shave my head like daddy.”  We actually tried talking him out of it for a while, but he would have none of it.  One of the things we’ve allow jonah to have ultimate freedom on, is his hair.  It’s just hair.  If he asks to shave, we shave.  Long, it’s long.  Mohawk…YEP.  SO, we went to the barber and off it came.  Here are a few pics of the experience.
