Ready, Get Set, Blog.

This is my second blog.

This new blog marks a transition into my second life, the part where the second career takes off. My friends, as you'd be wise to admit - many 'firsts' are carefully stored in a magic memory box some labeled 'Read Only', 'Fragile' or even 'High Security'. Friends of mine who often had too much to drink may have theirs aptly filed under 'Unaccompanied'.

Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened.

Truth is, the end of my 30 years saw a turning point. A turn so sharp it went off the ground. In the beginning were the wandering thoughts of a desert of gold, then came the opportunity and now the offer to work in Dubai with its airline. This decision have surprised many including myself, yet it is a necessary shock to the system. "What system?", if you ask. Well it consists of a certain saturation, a complacency, and a pattern you worry may never end. I am not complaining about the system, mind you. I am aware (maybe overly so) that the transition is going to be hard and I promise to indulge in wonderful memories of my pre-flying life.

So, pardon me if you know about this blog a little late. Forgive me if you hate my gut. Bear with me if this blog will be intermittent, or even incessantly indulgent - who knows. But remember to stay with me all of you because I may be away but I never left.
