DFW-LAX

WHY ON THIS FLIGHT: Travel to Yuma, AZ for business

FACT: Hang glided off Glacier Peak, Yosemite CA. Kayak and mountain climbed in German Alps. Drove coast to coast in less than 3 days. Did not like Hawaii, felt confined. RV'd all lower 48 states.

BUCKET LIST: Motorcycle lower 48. Desire to turn a profit on my farm. Become over educated for my IQ~almost there, close

GUILTY PLEASURE: Wanted to live longer than the men in Dad's family~almost there.

*MY TWO CENTS*: My Dad was in the military when I was younger, we were stationed at the Marine Base in Yuma, even though my Dad was Navy. All I remember is how hot it was, how much we went to the pool and how much bubble yum I bought. (it was new). I love the fact that he is striving to be healthier than past generations in his family. It seems like even with all of the medical advances, information and technology, we are becoming a more unhealthy society rather than a healthier society. Good Luck Wayne, I hope you have a VERY long and healthy life.

FACT: Have raced sailboats all over the planet, crossing most oceans of the world. I am more at home at sea than on land. Two time Maxiworld Champion. Americas Cup veteran.

BUCKET LIST: To race around the globe nonstop, alone.

GUILTY PLEASURE:  Having a woman in every port. It truly is possible. Just be quiet about it.

*MY TWO CENTS: I had to Google Maxiworld Champion, then I just Googled Michael. Wow, he is a VERY accomplished sailor. I can understand his feeling at home on the water, he is an expert. However, I must apologize in advance about your “secret” You may have been able to keep it quiet before this blog entry, but it is on the web now!
