<p class="excerpt">Update: our plane sold on August 2, 2023. It will be the end of an era and I will write more about it in the fall, but we have put our current plane up for sale. There are long, complicated reasons, but the short version is that it is too difficult to get to the airport, which means less flying,...</p>

<p class="excerpt">Back at the end of May 2022 we were looking at one our first adventures since the pandemic began. It’s amazing how few opportunities we had to get out and hop around in the little plane with things shut down, fewer gatherings to head to and so on. And for me, wearing a mask was often a reminder of...</p>
