Nope, I didn't suddenly embrace a new philosophy or religion. I was given a seaplane ride for my birthday! It was the coolest birthday present I've ever gotten. It was my 64th birthday, so the Beatles song was in my head. You can click on it here and have it play in the background while you read about my fun seaplane ride...www.youtube.com/watch
Bright and early, the seaplane from Lakes Region Seaplane Tours landed right at our dock!
Seeing the beautiful mountains, with the changing color of the trees looking like a carpet below us, made everything look so different from when we're poor earthbound mortals. The pilot, Dave French, gave a very official introduction to the specifics of the wonderful little plane. If I had just the tiniest doubt about the safety of this plane ride, it was erased after five minutes with Dave. And he was so enthusiastic about how lucky he is to have a job like this. He loves being a pilot. (His website says he's been flying for 34 years and has logged over 12,000 hours. And now he can add my birthday flight to his log!)
Here's a photo of me in the "co-pilot's seat." (Of course, I didn't touch a thing!!)
So now, I can't help but think how looking at the world differently is always a treat. And - wait for it, you know it's coming! - how differently might you look at the world if you are a college graduate? Of course it will change your life, and will change who you are. Although we don't offer any pilot's courses at Granite State College (who knows? maybe someday!), we offer hundreds of others. Start with just one that interests you, and you'll discover a new you. Even from the ground!
