Helicopters
I’ve really got the hang of flying helicopters now. I can fly all over the house taking off and landing at will (and on purpose). I fly from room to room, through hallways and doorways. Sometimes I don’t even turn off the ceiling fans and air conditioning. I deal with the turbulence. I should be ready for the real thing now; a real helicopter. And if I ever get the chance to fly a real one I can apply everything I’ve learned in these weeks of practice. I’ll try to remember not to fly too close to any furniture or walls, stay away from the ceiling, if I ever end up under furniture just turn off the motor, and never try to land on anything smaller than a TV Tray Table!
Special treatment
“You have to be nice to me. It’s my Birthday.” I said that all day on Wednesday. It worked flawlessly. For the remainder of the week I’ll be claiming “Birthday Week”. Amazing but true; so far that’s working as well. Next week I think I’ll skip “Birthday Month” and go straight to “Birthday Year”. If I can get that to work….
December 18th
And the weather outside is frightful… Not really. Our weather is in the 80s. We have Christmas lights, Christmas trees, and we’re all wishing each other Merry Christmas and exchanging Christmas cards. There will be a parade of lights and caroling. It’s a nice holiday season, but no icicles. No snow. Christmas carols in your head can be a little weird while floating in a pool on a warm evening watching a sunset with palm trees overhead. …the weather outside is frightful…
