Wow, thanks! I'm just toying with the idea of flying lessons right now. But if I can carve out the time and the dosh over the next year or so it seems really tempting. So, sure, I'd love to see any links people have handy, thanks! dcp, I live in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC area. Our major airport, RDU, has a flight school, and there are apparently several smaller airports around that also have them. Now that they're getting biofuels that work in planes I feel slightly less eco-dreadful about it.

Calli, no longer am in contact with that fellow student, but we were in Greensboro and he was doing it locally.

Someone on my Twitterstream mentioned having chocolate-chip pancakes for dinner. Guess what I really want now, and NO, it isn't the Cobb salad I'm going to be making. Hmmph.
(I haven't had chocolate-chip pancakes in ages. They would probably be Too Much for me now. But good LORD, they sound tasty. Really, really tasty.)

Sure! It was the least I could do, since I don't have the ingredients to make chocolate-chip pancakes.

Neither do I, but I may have to drag TCG out for breakfast on Saturday now.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I have a small tattoo sort kinda on my wrist but a little higher. Easy to cover with long sleeves. It didn't hurt at all, just tingled like touching one of those static ball things that makes your hair stand on end. Then it was all healed within a week. I think i totally lucked out on that because it's teeny.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
only make the offer to people who know won't soak you on it.
Less of an option for P-Cow since taking his Uncle to lunch is a family obligation.
But I think he's got this takeaway: (a) he can ask to not split things evenly when he's not drinking alcohol or ordering a small item; (b) he needs to factor in three beers when taking his Uncle out.
FWIW, if somebody offers to take me out I'd feel free to get one beer, but would only get a second drink if they did.
