Last Thursday, at about 5:45 pm EST, my youngest daughter Jessica got into a small single engine plain with a friend and classmate of mine named Josh. As my wife and I watched them taxi to the runway, we could see Jessica sitting in the front passenger seat, her face filled with excitement and anticipation. Roughly an hour later they landed and we waited patiently for them to return to the parking lot. She had an experience she will never forget and her cheeks must have hurt from the smile she wore well into the evening.
What is the problem you ask? Ah, yes... the problem. Well the problem is that now she wants more. She's extremely bright (all our kids are) and interested in becoming an astronaut (or at the very least working for NASA as a researcher/astronomer), so this simply fueled that dream. That was the point of course, but she wants to try to get her pilot's license and that takes money. Lots of money.
