Lyrics:

Back in the High Life Again

Steve Winwood

It used to seem to me that my life ran off too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run, it's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in the bright part of town

 

I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in

 

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
I know I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

 

Girl, you used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance the mornin' sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop 'til we're done

 

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

 

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
High life
In the high life again

 

We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All thee eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in

 

And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
Though we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

High life
(Back in the high life)

Oh, we'll be back...

Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),

Well, Thanksgiving has past but the whole holiday weekend continues.  I hope your T-Day was great and that the whole Thanksgiving holiday weekend has been superb!

 Happy Thanksgiving Season!


Not the Sztanyo table but IS a nice looking turkey!

This IS the Sztanyo T-Day spread including; cranberry salad, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding,

mashed potatoes and gravy, high style dressing with sausage, 22 lb turkey, fruit and veggie trays,

and yeast rolls to feed an army, and add to it 4 desserts of Pumpkin,

Strawberry-Rhubarb pies, Heath bar dessert, and fantastic lemon bars.

 

Yes, I do feel this holiday is special!  I think Thanksgiving is our nation’s greatest holiday.  Now if we are considering the worldwide church than Easter followed by Christmas takes the cake.  But for our nation, nothing surpasses the day of focus on gratitude.  Gratitude for so much like; all that the Lord, this land, and nation provide.

Happy Thanksgiving holiday weekend to one and all. 

Hope this 2022 year has been your biggest and best!

 

 

Google Group Issues:       Censored – Scrambling – Appealed – Restored!!!

Was it Elon, a reasonable Google staffer, or just a computer algorithm?  Our group established in 2009, got censored and shut down and all easy group communication ceased for a couple of months…….BUT NOW WE ARE RESTORED TO NORMAL!!!! Just to be clear we will use the ORIGINAL PCN Google Group for communications and PCN II will be maintained as a alternate back up ( should the social dweebs get persnickety again).

 

Your help joining PCN II - HUGE Thank YOU! (I’m still going to finish inviting the last 1000 members to PCN II to keep the group as a alternate BACK UP should Google get heavy handed  again!)

Thank you members for helping me out by accepting the invite to PCN II Google Group. 

I recently sent out a membership wide email to accept and join our new PCN II group by clicking a button like this  Accept This Invite.

THANK YOU Very Much. 

For all thouse who couldn’t join and may have got an error message it is not your fault.  It is that Google doesn’t like competitor email servers like AOL, Cox or Bellsouth.  So many not gmail email holders had a little trouble.  IF you  could load CHROME (a Google product) to access your email it would probably have worked. 

But at the end of the day, if you helped by successfully joining the new group It helped me immensely.  For all those who couldn’t join, I will Direct Add your email (which I will for all those who didn’t click the Accept Button, I can only add 10 at a time limited to 100/day.   So again thank you.  It is my hope that whatever caused Google to shut our original group down will not repeat in this new group. 

 

 

RE: Three items;    1. Barrage of emails are catching up  2. Personal Note      3. Heads Up

1.       Barrage of email notices – since we were off for over 2 months there are a number of notices coming your way to catch up.   Things will shortly settle down to normalcy.

 

2.       Personal Note - I wish to thank you members for hanging in there and even helping with advice and info.  It feels very good to have our Google Group back and have the benefits of communicating with our members.  We have used the Google Group for this ability since 2009.

 

3.       Heads Up – When Google turned our group back on, a number of group SETTINGS GOT RESET.  Since we ONLY use the group for one purpose and that is sending out notices, members do not have many options but you may notice choices for your email reception may possibly have changed.  Most members have this option set to “Each Email.” There is also a choice for “No Emails” however that shuts off everything coming from our group and for that matter if any were to select that option you might as well not be a member at all and simply unsubscribe.  If, for example, you just want to shut off one type of notice like death notices, than it is better to simply block death.flwnwst@gmail.com in your email account than to select No Emails from our Google Group.  As always if you have issues with not getting email notices or your choices of how to receive them, you are welcome to simply email me for assistance.  

 

Regardless of whatever actually caused our shutdown, we are very happy to be back and staying in touch with our online community.  The PCN is worth fighting for and keeping alive.  I can still tell you that I am happy to give of my time because I believe you are the finest group of pilots and humans that I have ever been around.  So for me, whatever way the PCN keeps us connected, informed and on top, it seems like it’s a worthy endeavor to keep investing in. 

In a few days it will be Thanksgiving.  I wish you and yours a wonderful holiday and I hope you are like me in this year having many many things to be thankful for!

 

Best NCAA BB game watched in a while: MSU vs UK 11-15-22

Early in the season the big programs are scrambling to get quality play to sharpen their teams.  Many many tournaments are scheduled.  The Champions Classic involved for blueblood teams with the odd year for the Spartys as the only one of the four not ranked.  Duke vs Kansas, and UK vs Sparty.  What a great couple of games to watch in wonderful Indianapolis.  The evening was made special because we were with dear friends that bleed blue and love the Cats.  However, they respect other teams that are good like the Sparties were this night.  Two OT’s and wow the place was rockin.  Finally in the second OT Sparty pulled away and gave No. 4 its first loss.  Best back and forth game I have seen in a while and of course always good when Green and White prevails.

New PCN subscriber Sign Up:

 

As you most of you know our PCN is a private subscribed to online community.  We maintain a list of that virtually eliminates spammers or other online undesirables from joining with a simple sign up procedure, so the applicant can be screened.  I am very happy with how this has worked as we can be assured that everyone on the 2670 member list is legit.

 

If you know of a pilot who wishes to join our community and receive our notices they can easily and painlessly become a subscriber for FREE by simply filling out the SIGN UP form.  If a current member vouches for a friend and simply sends in their former Delta position and email, I have always considered this an appropriate vetting and added them directly to the list.

 

Thanks for helping the PCN remain the largest retired Delta pilot online community and for helping keep our mailing list made up of all legit subscribers.
