Loved it since i was'a kid CW.

First time i Flew, they were deboarding by stairs then. As we were headed for the Terminal, i walked up to the Plane, reached up, and patted the nose belly like i was hugging my Dog. :) -It pleased me thoroughly. I was very young at the time, but i still remember how the metal felt, and the way i was taken with the rivets and color wear.

I was awe-struck. A rush that the Plane was really real, came over me yea! -It was an incredible feeling!

The Captain was looking over at me, walking to the Plane, and understood right off what i was doing. My Mother about had'a fit! ..What in the, so and so are-! Get over here! Where do you think you're going! Wheeeew ma-n, she was Chirpin' and meant it. HAAAAAAA-

It didn't even occur to me to turn back.

I didn't have to turn to see the Captains' approving grin, as Mom was tugging me back to line. I could tell he knew i was grinnin' like Bear-Rabbit myself. It was truly, a great moment. I've wondered from time time whether he remembers that too. I like to think he does.

I'm biting at the bit to feel that 'real' again. ..I know Musicians understand exactly my meaning. -Don't know if it was my suggesting to Ted to tell some stories, but that popped to me when i was replying.

Anyhow- :)

I was going to suggest a drink or several too, Chuck. Course if your afraid, too much booze'll just make ya mean. :)
