From somewhere in Pennsylvania...

Well, today I flew a jet for the 127th time. I'm still having a blast. I'm writing this from my hotel room in State College, Pennsylvania, home of the Penn State Nittany Lions. I've been all over the past few months, including Chicago O'Hare, New York LaGuardia, Portland Maine, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., San Antonio, and all sorts of places in between. I've been based in Louisville, Kentucky since I started, but next month I will be transferred to Indianapolis, which is great. I'll be staying with my parents until Abee and I can sell our condo in Florida and move home to Indy this summer. So far that's not going so well; we've had two people look at the place since we put it up for sale in December. The real estate market in South Florida is abysmal at best right now.

I've been passing the time sitting in hotels by watching preseason White Sox baseball on mlb.tv, playing preseason baseball as the White Sox in MVP 2005, and playing an online role playing game called Star Wars Galaxies. I've also started watching the new Battlestar Galactica show, and I have to say it's very good. I also do some sightseeing whenever I can. On one trip our day ended in White Plains, New York at a nice early 10:00 a.m. I took a train to New York city, where I had never been before. I saw Grand Central Station (it looks as cool as it does in the movies), rode the subway, saw the World Trade Center site, Times Square, and Rockefeller Plaza. On another trip I visited Washington, D.C., and went to the Air and Space Museum, saw the original Declaration of Independence and Constitution at the National Archives, and visited the World War II memorial. Also, last week I saw the fort that they named Fort Wayne, Indiana after. From the air I've seen the B-2 stealth bomber fly over us at 38,000 feet, and just the other day saw some F-18s doing their pass over the speedway in Bristol, Tennessee as we were coming in to land there.

Below are a couple pictures my dad took while I was doing a turn in Indianapolis. Well, until next time...
