Tales of a RevEngineer

I'm writing this post from the air, as I make my way by plane back to Irvine for the Solar Decathlon.  I'm headed from one runway to another, although the latter will be populated not with airplanes, but with solar houses.  Hopefully this coming weekend will be less "busy" than last weekend, however I anticipate the excitement to be even higher.

A commentary on commercial flight:

When I was a kid, flying was routine.  We flew every year to see family, which was easy for us given that my dad is an employee for United.  The last time we flew anywhere as a family was in January of 2011; I have not been on a flight since.  Boy, things have changed since last time.  I'm trying to imagine what it was like flying when I was just a kid, and how the experience changed as I got older.  I basically grew up flying in planes.  And I just want to add, it's good to be back in the friendly skies!  This time is also my first time flying solo, so that's cool.  Although the experience of flying itself is not all that foreign to me, it's still exciting getting to do it on my own!

I've just arrived at the hotel, and it's time for me to clock out.  Tomorrow's a big day for all of us!  For some, that day started tonight...
