-Rush, The Fountain of Lamneth


A very brief entry this morning, sitting in the FBO in Elmira. I've just filed IFR to KSPA, Spartanburg Muni. Three hours even. Lots of headwinds, yet again. Some icing out there.

I've already billed 37 hours this week, working until seven every night. Probably another 15-20 before Palm Sunday ends. I don't want to work like this, don't want to be away from P for days on end.


The place rumbles with the sound of the Delta commuter jet climbing out to the west, bound for Detroit. Time for me to fly.
