exciting, fun, a little intimidating, definitely worth it.
I was hoping to party it in with a bunch of new friends in Columbus, but crew scheduling had different plans for me and sent me to Dallas/Fort Worth TX instead. Fortunately I'm in the central time zone now though, so I can watch the ball drop and go to bed at 11.
It was quite a different year than I expected at the beginning. Both in good and bad ways. But the whole trend was somewhat positive so I'm happy about that. I think one of the best things that happened this year was my making some 50 or so new friends. It's been great knowing y'all.
I had a super tailwind on the way to JFK so I decided to see how fast I could go. I got up to 585 knots ground speed! Do you know how many miles per hour that is???
I did my first international trip for Chautauqua today. This time last year I was moping about the news of Big Sky going under, so I feel that this is a great improvement. There is a beautiful snow up here, probably about 3-4 inches and a light dust has been falling ever since we landed.
I'm cleaning my clothes today. It'll be nice to wear something fresh again. (After 4 weeks they get kind of old and nobody seems to want to be around you anymore.) Crew scheduling called me today and wants to send me on an overnight trip to Toronto tomorrow. But I'm not sure if they can legally do that or not, so well see.
