Jeez Wolfie, I'm feeling old... I started reading you when you were a student pilot, sent you advice about a CFI, went through your courtship, your trip around the north, your baby, marriage (not necessarily in that order) your ATC thing and now you're divorced?
You're not really my long-lost daughter? You weren't born in Prince Rupert or Tahsis?
I feel like I should at least be a Godfather or an uncle or something.......

Your first marriage (and divorce) are special, because at the time, you think each is forever, and as a result take them far too seriously.
All I really know for sure is that the first year of a marriage is a lot more fun than the last year of a marriage. You can quote me on that.
Speaking of quotes, I've been kicking around some tombstone epitaph ideas:
"He spend most of his money on women and airplanes. The rest he wasted."
"Amazing the crazy mofo lived that long, eh?"
"$6000 doesn't buy much of a headstone, does it?"
Problem is that I really don't want to be planted in the ground like some sort of human seed.
Really, I would like to be stuffed by a taxidermist with a broad mind that accepts bribes. I think I would make a marvellous lamp. My descendants could stand me in the corner, a lampshade over my head. The taxidermist could put my hand out flat, and the kids could put their car keys there, when they walked in the door. In the interests of decorum, I will not mention what the taxidermist will use as a place to hang the umbrella.
You're thinking to yourself, my God, is he really that batsh1t crazy, or does he just have a really sick sense of humour? I guess you won't know for sure until I dig a hole somewhere.
I think that getting stuffed is an excellent way to remind your offspring why they are here and as a reminder of where they might end up! However, after a generation they would have to take you down because a really successful life would have new object lessons for the living and they would tend to forget that the "stuffed guy supposedly was crazy old Uncle Hedley but we can't remember why he is in the corner, but (Bob) Hedley, we stuffed him with a big grin and put him in the window because with him there even Charlie Sheen wouldn't drive down our road."

I was wondering if I should mention stuffing Skywolfe, but she is still moving too quickly and the connotations are suspect... Besides, I told you all already that I was feeling avuncular towards her and unless I was Catholic, I'm sure that that wouldn't be right.
