Day 2 of industry committee meeting in DC this week. Great to get to hear from FAA and EASA leaders about how they are addressing current challenges within our industry.

In DC for work this week. Flight in went smoothly; got out for a 4-mile run mostly along the Mall; dinner at a wonderful Persian restaurant. Now time to do some ironing and crash.

Heckuva win for the Dallas Stars in OT on the PP. What an awful day for Mark Scheifele, who loses his dad this morning, scores WPGs only goal, but then takes the only penalty in the game. Dude gets a hug from ever single Stars player in the handshake line. Best tradition in sports.

“There is no cognitive dissonance when your entire worldview is built on confirmation bias masquerading as divine discernment.”

Oh damn. That single phrase from Stephanie Jo Warren might sum up the Evangelical brainwashing experience better than I’ve ever heard before.
