it happened to me

Have you ever heard stories or maybe yourself have experienced finding a twenty dollar bill or more on the ground or a waitress getting a really big overly generous tip. Well now I have a similar story. Last night a clever generous passenger handed this to me on his way out the door.  I first thought he was playing a mean joke (which I would also appreciate) I gladly played a along and took it from him laughingly saying how it can't be real. Then his daughter trailing not far behind him mentioned to me that oh I wouldn't bet it against him he is notorious for that. I then realized it was in fact real and no joke!! I tried to give it back but he walked away.... 

day in the thunderstorms

I saw this when I got off the train today. 

Everything green in Chicago. So pretty. 

I've been a little behind on my postings. Working overtime is to blame with hardly any free time. I timed out for the first time last week because of thunderstorms. This was the flight right before that happened. We are not allowed to work over sixteen hours and my duty day was 14 and I was still scheduled to go to Oklahoma. But because thats over a two hour flight I got to go home instead.

New Mexico Days
I brought my bike out for the first time this year. Perfect day for a perfect ride. Today was the day summer begins. It makes it seem like weathering through the winter tundra was worth the wait. Trees are finally bloomed, tulips everywhere, and sun is warm! I'm in the process of making a list of all the things I would like to do this summer in Chicago. Today's bike ride was a good start. I really want to make sure this year I absorb summer to the fullest extent.
