Vampirama!

Happy Monday! It's been the start of another great week. Saturday, I took my nieces to the Crazy Corn Maze in West Jordan. We even took them through the haunted section. Those ninnies. It wasn't scary at all. Of course, this is coming from the self-annointed Queen of Vampires. I hope I didn't scar those girls for life. Well, it'll toughin them up. Isn't that what life's about? Being tough?
So, have I said anything about getting my book edited? My editor did a thorough job, I must say. Yea, it was hard to take, but such is life. I've decided to start a whole new book, one that will have all of the suggestions that my editor has given me. It is good advice, and I do want to publish something someday. Might as well start anew.
Here is a little funny blurp from SNL. Again. This will become a habit. Warning: It IS PG-13.

Also, my joke of the day:
Wisdom From the Military

"You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3." - Paul F. Crickmore (test pilot)
"The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire."

"When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash."
"Even with ammunition, the USAF is just another expensive flying club."
"What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, ... The pilot dies."

The three most common ex pressions (or famous last words) in aviation are: "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" And "Oh S...! "

As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives, the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks "What happened?". The pilot's reply: "I don't know, I just got here myself!" - Attributed to Ray Crandell (Lockheed test pilot)
