Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),
Just returned from travels to Israel then Michigan
First, Israel: For the last 7 years flying the military around, I have
flown over Israel a good many times.
When the vis is good, it is quite easy to pick out some very important
spots in the little country. I have
always wanted to visit there and take a holy land tour complete with many of
the sites that have a great deal of meaning to me as a Christian. Well, my Delta pilot son, Mike, had a group
going right during a vacation period of mine and also over Barb and my 65th
birthdays. Timing couldn’t be better and
so we booked it and were so glad we did.
The man from Galilee changed the script and changed the world so it was
very interesting to visit the many historical sites that were the location of
major events in the life of Jesus and as such for the church that follows
Him. We had a tour guide who was a
Messianic Jew, which for our Christian group, was really helpful as all the Old
Testament Jewish history was neatly presented in concert with the impact of Jesus
of the New Testament. When we stood on
the Mt of Olives and looked at an old Jerusalem that was predominantly the same
visual that Jesus had, it was very moving.
So many sites had a emotional impact on me, the mount where the Beattitudes were taught,
the Sea of Galilee where upon its shores so many events took place, and the
House of Caiaphas and the Antonio Fortress, where Jesus was accused before the
high priest then shuffled off to Pontius Pilate where He was condemn to
die. Yeah, a lot to take in and for Barb
and I, very very impactful. Should you
go? Well, our experience was terrific
and a trip that will complete some mental pictures for me for the rest of my
life. If you have always wanted to, then
make it happen.
One caution: non-revving to TLV
is tough. It didn’t work out so well for
us inbound, however, outbound we were fortunate to get on and onward to home. So bite the bullet and buy positive space
with your tour.

About MI Farm Time:
Well, the trip up to the farm in Michigan was to “relax” and recover
from the recent Israel trip. I would do
some odds and ends on the property that need attention and would get a little
bow hunting in. Barb would visit with
Mom and then travel to Lansing for her “infamous” sisters shopping weekend. She had a ball and now I await the arrival of
the credit card bills, ha ha. For me, my first surprise was when I
purchased my hunting tag. Since I
purchased it after my birthday I got a very nice “senior” discount for the
first time this year. Wow, there are
some advantages to getting older. As to the successes? Well, I did bag a deer and get some projects
done, but I never really got the sleep needed to recover from the jet lag from
Israel. That has come a little later. Both trips were great and a super way to
“kick of” my new retired life.

More consistent High Life releases?
I have been at an online pilot community for over 14 years and
doing the PCN for the last 9 years.
Maybe now that I am retired I will be able to have the time to be a
little more consistent with the High Life……and
maybe not. Let me give a little
explanation. For all new to the PCN we
attempt to produce a bi-weekly newsletter.
That is conditional upon enough content received from members and my
availability to edit. We’ll see but
in any case I still love serving this community and very much appreciate
your indulgences when it comes to flexibility of issue
release.
