I like flying, and I like Frank Sinatra. So, in keeping with the theme of my page, VeeR proudly presents:

"Come Fly With Me"

Come fly with me, lets fly lets fly away

If you can use, some exotic booze

Theres a bar in far Bombay

Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away

Come fly with me, lets float down to Peru

In lama land, theres a one man band

And he'll toot his flute for you

Come fly with me, we'll float down in the blue

Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied

We'll just glide, starry eyed

Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near

You may here, angels cheer - because were together

Weather wise its such a lovely day

You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds

Down to acapulco bay

Its perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say

Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away

"Amid the din of the engines, with the plane's nose rising, several other people are- sleeping! How do they do it? At such a mystical moment, with the thrill of the takeoff at hand and the shackles of Earth falling away?" - Michael Kelsius, National Geographic, Dec 2003

It seems a few people put one embarassing story about them selves somewhere on their page. And this one is kind of funny. So yes, I'm prepared to risk eternal humilation for the benefit of your entertainment. How nice of me.

One day I was out at the airport (it seems to happen quite a lot heh)

I was walking between the terminals of two different airlines. (The view is better from one end depending which way the aircraft are landing on a given day - it changes with the wind). I'd been doing some business-y stuff before I went out there, so I was still in my good clothes. So there I am, merrily walking along, and I see a couple of pilots walking in the direction I've just come from. One of them was only in his late twenties, early thirties, kind of cute. He smiled & said hi as I walked past, and I said hi back; only I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and tripped over a brick that stuck up a bit from the pavement.

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!! HOW EMBARASSING!!!

Not only did the cute pilot see me stack it, but so did his buddy, and even worse, a bunch of people coming out of arrivals. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me heh. At least it wasn't a total stack. More a really bad stumble. It could ahve been worse!! :p
