We had been planning this trip for a couple years with life getting in the way (inconveniently dying grandpa/dad, how rude), but I finally took my mommy to Victoria— we stayed at The Empress, did high tea, and went to the gardens. I snuck away for some sauna time, too. Pinkies up!

Morale is low at work, but today was cool: I flew a humanitarian flight to Venezuela and got to hang out with Lebron, the anti-drug dog who was very friendly (approved by the handler of course). He came on board to snoof some things, mostly my leftover arepa.

Due to my schedule, I likely won’t be home for Pride in Seattle— so I took my dentist (a dear friend, IYKYK) to a drag brunch at my “gym.” Ok, so the Washington Athletic Club is more than a gym but a community that is no longer “male, pale, and stale.” It’s a new era of inclusivity. Happy Pride!

I’ve done exactly two lessons with zero practice in between. But “my” coach played professionally and keeps me coming back for some reason. I figure it’s more structured and strenuous than pickleball. 🎾

Nerdy question for pax airline pilots: I’m a flea ridden freight dawg, and we don’t have wifi. Thusly, we are relegated to the ship’s onboard radar. Do you find that having other information, presumably via in-house wx apps, helps you navigate cells better (than the old days)?

Years ago, we had Boeing 757s in our fleet. I was so lucky and proud to fly them. They’ve since retired, but several were from Icelandair’s fleet. Today I’m being super #avgeek and flying home via Portland, just to be on one once again— I sat in the flight deck and chatted with the nice crew!
