This is my Now page for March 6th 2022. For my current Now page, go here.

  1. Mom’s Estate
    Wow, it’s a LOT of work dealing with someone’s death! Even setting the immense emotional components aside, the number of tasks and things that need to be handled has been daunting. I’m still deep in handling everything for my Mom’s meager estate. Fortunately (from what I hear?), it wasn’t a lot, and my brother and other family & friends are all pulling in the same direction here. Still, it’s got most of my focus on most days.

  2. Working
    We’re closing in on the end of Q1, and with it our trajectory for 2022 is cementing itself in. Right at the same time The Great Resignation is affecting me personally. My right-hand man is moving on to greener pastures, and I’m returning to the “if I don’t do it, then it doesn’t happen” mode. Not a fan of that mode. Trying to architect even a vacation anytime in 2022 is challenging right now.

  3. Helping friends move
    Family friends Phyllis & Kent have known me since I was 15. We’ve been pretty close since then, and they ended up moved to Utah last year. I spent a lot of time & effort helping them move in and get settled, and now they’re moving again as Ogden didn’t really work out for them. This weekend I’m helping with their moving prep, and later this month I’ll likely be traveling to the East Coast to help with the settling on the other end too.

  4. Private Pilot’s License
    Though I’ve slowed down a bit recently, I’m still going for my Private Pilots License (PPL) soon. This month I’m getting in the air with my flight instructor, and I’m studying for my written exam in May. Given all that’s going on in life, I’ve decided to relax my schedule and focus on learning well as opposed to learning fast. The truth is that I’m actually a very slow learner in some respects, painfully awkward for an uncomfortably long duration. But then I speed past everyone else with a greater mastery and depth of understanding due to my hard work overcoming my limitations.

  5. Building TrueNorthFlightAdventures.com
    My video and web skills are what makes a PPL possible for me & Denise. As it happens, our flight instructor wants to build his business, and I have all the skills to help! So we’re doing some work trade that’s working out well. Not sure how much of that I’ll fit into this busy month, but fortunately neither of us is in a huge hurry at the moment.

That's my world these days. Hope you're doing alright.
