I am musing while reclining in a Lazy Boy chair at my brother’s house in Virginia Beach, VA. An enjoyable holiday here has involved two 175 mile trips from here to Richmond, VA, on Wednesday and Thursday nights. T.J. drives a truck to Richmond International Airport three times a week for a shipping company. Also, we have done a good bit touring around this historic and location of several military installations. We “went aboard” Oceana Naval Air Station, where T.J. was stationed for part of his career. Here we saw the history of Naval air flight in the presence of planes from different eras.
