A personal journey into retirement.
Sitting on a plane after a one hour delay due to maintenance, the air conditioner seems to be stuck on heat, flight attendants trying to confirm number of passengers, communicating with the check in attendant, and specifically calling out my seat number, doesn’t exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling!

My recent trip to Dallas was a short turn around. Doesn't leave much time for exploring but you know I found some time to find a few 'beautiful things'.
