Have you ever watched that new television series “Pan Am?” I’ve only watched it twice so far, but I did enjoy watching it. Most of the time I’m too busy to sit and watch television, and often when I have the chance to sit down and turn the television on it seems that I’ve just missed most of my shows that I enjoy watching! There was a point in time when I recorded my favorite shows, but then I found I never had time to watch the recordings, so I eventually gave up on that idea!

Well, the show brings back old memories of when I was quite young and the new International airport about an hour’s drive from our house opened up. My older sister found out about a promotion that united airlines was doing where for only a few dollars we we allowed about a twenty minute sample flight. That was a very exciting time in my life! That was the first of many flights to come in my lifetime. I remember daydreaming about getting a job as a stewardess, but if I recall correctly my ambitions towards that were deeply discouraged by my parents (sigh.) I still think that would have been a wonderful and exciting job to have!

But instead of having an exciting jet-setting career I had to settle for the dreary and dull life of an office worker, who has to confine her flying dreams to taking as many cheap flights as she can to various vacation spots. Oh well, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, isn’t it!
