I've done it - it's absolutely incredible.

As referenced in my post below, the Collings Foundation has one (among other notable planes). They tour the country every year and you can tour it and also take a ride on one. I did it a few years ago and it was simply amazing. Here is some information and their schedule:http://www.collingsfoundation.org/menu.htm

Ha - and just as I pushed "publish" a C-47 painted in WWII colors just flew by my window at work...

My grandfather was a B-24 pilot in the war. He was stationed first in Northern Africa and then Italy and was awarded the DFC. At one point, his plane was crippled by a German fighter on the way back from a mission and he had to ditch the plane in the Adriatic. Only he and two other of his crew survived the water…

Former Tennessee congressman, perhaps....?

Thanks, but I've said this many times: there's nothing special about me. I just had to learn to be a parent in a very different way by helping my daughter die with dignity. We all have reserves of strength within us that will be there when we need them, both in the moment and in the time after when you have to live…

Thanks. Had some bad times, but I have two beautiful sons and am married to the woman of my dreams. The Universe has a way of balancing if you believe enough in it. I encourage you to follow up/do what ever you can regarding taking those parents off the lists. My daughter died a little over three years ago when…

That's what I figure, too. It didn't bother me, but having suffered through infertility and miscarriage and also lost a child to cancer (Triple Crown of doom!), my heart goes out to all the woman who got this email who fall into any of those categories.

No, we didn't (second kid always gets screwed - he got an email and an IG post). Nor have we otherwise ordered any photos from Shutterfly in quite some time (at least a year). As far as I can tell, there's no direct link so it must come from some data mining relationship with any of the other myriad companies we…

Yep, I'm a guy and I got it. But we also just had a baby ten weeks ago, so my response was more one of bewildered amazement, i.e., "Wow, I know I post a lot of photos on IG of my sons, but I didn't know Big Brother was one of my followers."

This doesn't surprise me at all. We Democrats have a long history of battling an emotionless opposition that shows no hesitation in its singular obsession with destroying everyone else in furtherance of its own well-being.

It was the last inning of the city league championship when I was in eighth grade, the score was tight, and I was on the hill. It was the last season before the pitchers mound moved from 50 feet to 60'6", an advantage for kids like me who had matured early and could throw pretty hard. On the flip side, as I would…

Rosebud....

As the father of a 17-month old and one that is one month today and also a partner at a law firm, I want to rip this guy's nuts off. Indeed, I wish not only that paid paternity leave was the norm, but I wish it was mandatory. I took three weeks off after my first was born and two weeks after my second, but let's not…

The only thing that surprised me about this list - about which I could only find minor quibbles - is that the word "CrossFit" didn't appear anywhere on it.

"A cow?"

Married man here. I'm okay with this in theory (although "mangagement" is simply awful), but not in practice. First, the concept that anyone would need a sign that they are taken is backward. It shouldn't be the public's burden to stay away from me; It's my responsibility to live my life in such a way to eliminate any…

No, that's my line. And I only use it when I'm wearing really baggy pants and their errors are particularly egregious. I slap down the red-slashed paper and make my exit with the crab walk. It's very striking.

I have similar duties in my office, where I am lovingly referred to as the "Grammar Hammer." It's embarrassing how much I relish this title.

Since no one seems to want to actually answer, I will throw my two cents in. In my experience (long ago Texas HS quarterback), "clumping" is a result of one of two things. First, it may just be that the defense did it's job: they had the exact right response to the intended offensive play and shut it down.…
