At last, my first blog!
What a wonderful week I just experienced!  For the fourth year, I participated in the Walk for MS on April 19th.  The week was filled with anticipation and anxiety, as the day approached.  My biggest concern was the weather.  The forecast seemed to fluctuate on an hourly basis from about Wednesday to Saturday night.  Total sun, then partially cloudy, the showers, and back to sun.  Do weather-folks not realize how much they are toying with people’s emotions?  Pick a weather condition and stick to it – geesh!  Anyway, the weather turned out to be perfect for the walkers and the flyers (moi and my passenger).  I was recently interviewed by Jack and Lori on 105.7 EZ Rock, and Lori requested that I update her with the Walk/Fly events.  Here is a copy of the email I sent her yesterday:

Greetings Lori,

Just to let you know, the Walk/Flight for MS was great!  The weather was lovely, except for a bit of wind.  Thank goodness for puke bags!  Just kidding.  Actually, the flight attendants were quite effecient at keeping my passenger calm during the rough spots.  After making quite a few passes over the Port Dalhousie walk, we headed over to Niagara Falls.  It was during this time that lunch was served.  It was wonderful – steak and lobster followed by creme brule.  Soon after we finished our lavish meal, we arrived at the Walk in Chippawa.  There weren’t too many people – either that or they were really spread out.  Next was nappy time.  My passenger and I had a little snooze on the way over to Welland.  We were awoken by my man-servant and told that the Welland walk site was fast approachin’!  After a quick massage, we spotted the Welland walkers along the canal.  A few loops overhead, then back to Port Dalhousie.  It was an uneventful flight there, so we decided to watch a movie.  I can’t remember what it was called, sorry about that!  Just as the movie credits appeared, we arrived over the Port Dalhousie walk site.  There were still quite a few people cruising the routes.  I did a few circuits, tipped my wings and landed back at the greater metropolatin Niagara District Airport.  What a wonderful trip!  Great turnout at the walks, great weather and great company!

I look forward to taking you up for a flight.  Hopefully it will be as adventurous as Sunday’s!

Cheers,
