Bruce Interviewed by USA Today
Today, Bruce was interviewed extensively by USA Today about his relationship with Sam Raimi and their struggles to survive in the business. The article goes in depth into the struggles of Sam during the 80's and 90's to land on his feet and the people he went on the journey with. Here is an excerpt of what Bruce had to say about Sam:
"He wears nicer suits, but they're still rumpled, He's making these huge movies, but he's still learning. His skills are growing exponentially, but he wants to know what everyone else thinks. He's become one of the best directors around. But he's still Sam."The article also interviews Sam who said that:
"Once we close this chapter on Spider-Man, I need to just get away from things for a while. I'm too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I'm getting to do something I love".
Who knows if "getting away from things for a while" means getting away from the Spider-Man franchise or from directing all together for a bit. Hopefully the desire to do Evil Dead IV is still burning in him.

Xiaojie Chen first joined IIASA in January 2012 as a postdoctoral research fellow. In February 2013 he became a research scholar in the EEP Program.
Dr. Chen's latest work has focused on how voluntary contributions in the production and safeguarding by societies of public goods can lead to defections, the so-called the volunteer's dilemma. In 2013 he lead-authored a paper on how" Shared rewarding overcomes defection traps in generalized volunteer's dilemmas, which was published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology in October.
The results of the research for this paper showed that in order to encourage rational individuals to make voluntary contributions, a government or other social organizations can offer rewards, to be shared among the volunteers. However, to prevent volunteer defections and promote coexistence of volunteers and non-volunteers, the research identified a critical level of shared rewarding -relatively small compared to volunteers' total contribution to the public good - that is remarkably effective in overcoming defection traps in the generalized volunteer's dilemma.

AFRO-JAZZ musician MaNgwenya will donate half of the proceedings from her concert to commemorate her 11 years in the music industry on September 1.
BY PRECIOUS CHIDA
The diva’s manager, Shalom Mhizha, told NewsDay that the decision was meant to show appreciation for the support she has received in the last decade.
“We have decided that in celebrating her anniversary, it was necessary to give back as a sign of appreciation to the community MaNgwenya comes from, by channelling 50% of the proceeds that will come from a concert she is having on September 1 at Jameson Hotel to an identified less privileged family in Zvimba,” she said.
Mhizha said MaNgwenya has released four albums after venturing into music as an urban grooves artiste in 2004.
MaNgwenya — then known as Diana Samkange — started off her music career with the outfit, 2BG, which later split, with Shane Dingz and Blush, relocating to the United Kingdom and South Africa, respectively.
MaNgwenya made headlines when she decided to put on traditionalist garb after years as an urban groover.
Mhizha urged MaNgwenya’s fans to attend the concert and help their idol make the initiative a success.
She said a number of surprise artistes will take to the stage at the concert.
The songstress, who is passionate about helping the less privileged, is determined to do more programmes including the MaNgwenya mentorship programme designed for young and upcoming artistes.

You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em
Know when to fold ‘em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run…
—from The Gambler, made famous singer Kenny Rogers
It was a good run, but it’s over. Today, I closed the door to hangar 508-7 for the last time, without my beloved Light Sport-eligible Aeronca Chief behind it, and there will be no airplane to replace it. The Chief has been sold to a fine officer-and-gentleman from North Carolina, who seems as passionate about the airplane as I have been.
We all know the day will come when we will fly as PIC no more, whether because we keel over dead, get too sick to pass the medical, feel that our skills have deteriorated irreversibly, burn out on aviation, or simply run out of money. For me, a combination of factors added up to an important question. That is, if I had a friend, my age, who had all my various issues, would I let him take my grandsons up in his old airplane? And sadly, reluctantly, I came to the answer: no. Any other answer would be selfish and hypocritical.
Non-aviation types I’ve told of this decision respond flippantly: oh, too bad, no big deal. They have no idea how big a deal this is. As I’ve written before, I only hold a private license, SEL/I, and never made a dime from flying. I will never even hit 1,000 hours, a long-time goal. Yet aviation has filled a huge space in my life, beginning with all those balsa quick-builds of grade school days, the ukies later on, the family airport visits, the endless reading of aviation books and magazines, and finally the decision in midlife to take up flying and aircraft ownership. I am startled now to face how much of my mental and emotional life and energy have been tied up in all facets of aviation, and how much of my time: there is a big hole to fill. (Fortunately, the monetary hole of aircraft ownership will now begin to refill itself!)
After getting used to being an “ex-pilot,” I expect that I will look back on nearly 35 years of holding an airman certificate with gratitude and many warm memories. It is an incredible privilege to have owned and enjoyed two old airplanes, to have met and known so many fine airmen and -women, both famous and ordinary, to have served the general aviation community through my work with the EAA and my writing, to have seen what only airmen see from our mobile perches. Surely, however, the most important thing of all is the many bonds of friendship formed through our common interest in Things That Fly. “Airplane people” really do seem special to me. Maybe aficionados of hot rods or old British roadsters, or pre-WWII tractors or antique dolls have a similar kinship, but somehow the brother- and sisterhood of aviators feels unique.
How or if I will be involved in aviation from now on is uncertain. Losing my identity as a pilot may suck much of the joy from the activity; hangar flying is fun, especially when one has an airplane and is making new adventures. But perhaps now talking about flying will seem a bit like talking about having sex. Worse still, maybe it will be like talking about having sex with a condom on! I’ll give it time. There are some obligations to fulfill around my EAA chapter’s annual summer fly-in event. Maybe interest in radio-controlled models will offer a new avenue. Maybe I’ll buy or build an ultralight and fly free of regulation; after all, just being airborne has always been a joy. Give it time. Give it time.
Now, I am thinking about the readers of this journal. From direct statements and hints, I suspect that many of you are no longer flying, or not much. For those of you who are still active, I beg of you: if you have a plane, and don’t fly it much, shame on you. Don’t let it rot, fly it! Split the cost of fuel or take in a partner, do whatever you have to do to make it possible to fly (that excludes felonious activity!). If you’re a renter, find a plane you like and fly as much has you can afford; maybe you can get a discount if you commit to a certain amount of time. If you are going to fly “someday,” let that someday be soon. You just never know how much time is left in which to do it.
I have some regrets about my involvement in aviation. Some people I knew have died in airplanes when it didn’t have to happen. I didn’t give as much back to aviation as it gave to me. I didn’t become as skilled a pilot as I wished, and I never took any aerobatic training. My tailwheel skills never came up to my standards, much less those of my instructors. But more than anything, I regret that I didn’t take up flying sooner (especially missing the chance to get my license very cheaply in the Army), and that I had such a long hiatus from flying due to job demands and moves. But enough of the view through the Retrospectoscope: the good vastly outweighs the bad and the regrettable.
I hope those of you with some gray hair (or simply some hair!) who are still flying will spend some time thinking about your future, even as you enjoy the present. Richard Collins has set us a good example. Your time will come, and you need to think about how and when you will draw the line, and how you will handle being an “ex.” Ask yourself the question I posed in the second paragraph. Please do not be one of those pilots long past his sell-by date who fudges his medical application, or flies without a medical when one is required, or foolishly flies beyond his or her own mental, physical, training, or health limitations. If you are going to be only looking up at airplanes, let it be from the green side of the grass.
As Paul Poberezny famously said many times, “I came to aviation for the airplanes, and stayed for the people.” Still… three-niner-six-seven-Lima and three-one-five-four-Echo, I’ll never forget you. Thanks for the ride.

Excellent article. Makes me hope that I have the guts to call it quits when my time is up.
Birthday was on the 27th…i wonder if at 35, having built up almost enough to get my commercial license debt free, is really too late for me to become any sort of career pilot? At this point, as long as I get to fly and get paid for it I would be quite happy (i hope)
How about a 30-40 year career? Steve Wittman and Paul Poberezny flew into their 90s, and the examiner where I got my license worked into his 80s. The CFI who whipped me through a tailwheel endorsement was in his late 70s and had the reflexes of a 25 year old. Airline pilots in the US and EU can fly to age 65, and can move after airline retirement into corporate work, instructing, etc. On the strictly private pilot side, my former partner in a C-172 is still flying quite competently at 83. The key, of course, is having and maintaining good health: to paraphrase an ancient country music song, cigareets, whusky, and wild, wild wimmen can shorten a career! (Oh, and do keep that waistline slender.)
I started flying at age 15. soloed at 16 . Have always had a Pilots Certificate. I am now age 66. The most fun I ever had was working as a Flight Instructor at Fort Lauderdale Exceutuve Airport in Florida , I was 35 years old at that time., working with a bunch of young kids who only wanted to be airline pilots. Some of them made it , some got killed. They laughed at me all the time because of my age , I laughed on the inside , knowing that they were having the time of their lives , but just din’t know it.
I say , Good Luck age 35 ! God Speed ! And if you realize that you are having the time of your life you will be way ahead of most people , never mind just Pilots.
I’ve learned to always aim for Capt on a 787, and let the journey take me where it takes me. I fly for myself and not letting anyone else’s expectations of me stop me, not anymore.
Well said. And your comment about still flying after our “sell by date” is a good reason to keep the medical.
That just made my eyes water. As a late starter I too wish i had done this sooner. With only 5 flying years behind me I can’t imagine leaving aviation. And by the way, it’s not too late to try aerobatics with a good instructor!
Hunter – it’s up to you of course, but there are quite a few ways for you to keep flying absent your former airplane and your medical.
As you already mentioned, you can buy or build an ultralight or weight shift (which is a whole ‘nother kind of flying fun, closer to the Wright Brothers kind of flight than to modern technology) and stick to solo flying.
There are likely pilots out there who would like to own and fly an experimental aircraft, but because they’re not yet retired, don’t have the time to build one (which is why it seems that most homebuilts are built and flown by old codgers). If you don’t need to get paid a lot for your labor, and the owner trusts your work, you can have the joy of building one, and have a handshake agreement that the owner will take you up from time to time and let you take the controls even as he/she remains PIC.
Or just lend a hand to someone else working on a project aircraft.
Joining EAA and getting involved in your local chapter would keep you around aircraft and pilots, and you should be able to get the opportunity to ride and,once in awhile, even take the controls momentarily. There may be other social options too, like type clubs or groups like RAF (the Recreational Aviation Foundation) who do fly-ins, fly-outs, backcountry airstrip work parties, and such, who would appreciate your company and your elbow grease.
You don’t need to give up flying … you’re only entering a new phase in your aviator’s life.
Best of luck!
Thanks for the encouraging words. I mentioned in the article some of the possibilities you offered, but with the proviso that I would “give it time” before deciding what comes next. That said, after owning and flying my own aircraft, being a passenger or quasi-student just to get some stick time are only pale imitations of “the real thing.” As for joining the EAA, my member no. is 37,802, and I’m a member of two Indy-area chapters.
You can speak to an instructor in your area and ask to fly dual.
Doing a refresher training costs less than owning an airplane.
That keeps you legal and safe without being the PIC.
I encourage pilots to fly with me if they lost their medical or currency.
It is a very simple solution to the current limitations and you always learn something new as you enjoy some stalls, steep turns and landings.
I do respect your decision for not violating the rules.It speaks volumes about your integrity.
Thank you !!!!
Thanks for the encouraging thoughts; see my response to Duane for my current thinking on the possible substitutes for being PIC.
I’m going to encourage you to continue to fly. Maybe not even airplanes: take up hang gliding, ballooning, Hell base jumping.
You don’t have to endanger anyone’s grand kids to sport fly; just stay away from populated areas. there’s always Quadcopter racing with FPV goggles— that’s as exhilarating as any flight I’ve taken… and if you come to the stage of being bed ridden some long day in the future you can fly virtually in games like Warbirds 2015 with pilots from all over the world…
Change, don’t abandon. Write, don’t forget. Get Involved, help protect the glories of Flight! You still matter to all pilots.
Sometimes it is best, as the song I quoted says, to walk away. There are reasons why the alternative means of flight you suggested don’t seem reasonable to me… even unattractive. I mentioned R/C flying as a possibility, and have enjoyed flying small R/C helicopters. I do hope to continue writing, as long as good stories come to mind.
That’s a painful subject for me, actually. I’m about losing my recency and can’t help that, cause I’m unemployed now for almost two years and can’t even easily get back into my career, so likely I need to switch one and that’s another headache.
So now I dare to say, that I really regret I have been involved into aviation once. Cause I have invested a lot of time, money, energy and nerve, and now I’m giving up. When I realized, I can’t afford even ocassional flying any longer, I started lose my motivation rapidly (obviously it’s sort of subconscious mental self-defence to prevent one from getting into depression).
So I’m puzzled. I go crazy thinking I need to quit (heck, no!), but basically I’ve done that already. All I need is to get my MOTIVATION back, and that’s the hardest part. Cause if I’m not motivated to keep flying, I have no desire to look for the new well-paid job as I had before, and thus can’t afford rental costs even on the sharing base. So now I’m ok with my low income, and my only regret is my aviation experience, like I said. Wish I never knew what is that… :(
My heart goes out to you– what a difficult situation. For many, money or the lack thereof is the dead weight that keeps them on the ground. I hope you find that high-paying job soon and can start to think about getting current and flying again.
I am in the same boat . I wish and i hope by now you have found a place in aviation. I am a cpl holder also used to be an instructor but the only reason i stoped is money. I work as a cabin crew in order to at least be in an aircraft and get paid. I lost a lot of motivation but i cant give up , everyday i wake up thinking to have back what i had. Hope it will come.
All the best
My heart goes out to you. I haven’t yet begun my adventure in aviation because of money money money but I am working toward it actively. My heart breaks for you but also I highly respect your assessment of self and having the honesty to be responsible with your gift of flying.
It sounds like you have some regrets, as we all do, but try to focus on the happiness it brought you. At the time you wrote this, the wound was still very fresh. I hope you heal and find happiness, and learn to put your energy toward something else that makes you happy. Thanks for the great article and best wishes.
Just wanted to thank you. That was a sad read for me.
When I was a newbie I would jump at the opportunity to go flying, even touch n’ goes would be sufficient to make me happy, but as I progress in my flying and in life, I find myself pulling my baby out of the hanger only for XC trips, or in other words, that beautiful machine is now reduced to a transportation vehicle. shame on me.
So thank you for reminding me how privileged I am to be young(ish), healthy, and have the means to own and fly an airplane, I will do my best to never again take it for granted.
Thanks very much for your words of wisdom.
I wouldn’t worry about referring to yourself as an ‘ex-pilot’ (unless your certificate gets pulled by the FAA!).
Whether you have the opportunity to fly as a PIC again or not, you’ve already earned your way into the ranks; once a pilot…always a pilot.
Hunter, I know this might seem blunt but you are going through a period of self pity and that is very understandable given the skills and independence you developed over all those years flying. I think you are doing yourself a bit of injustice in your thinking, however. You are doing the right thing “giving it time” during this transition period but don’t let aviation slip away just because you can’t do what you could before ! I will never have as many years flying that you did, will never acquire your skills and may not be able to afford my own aircraft. Heck, I got my PPL at 60 and now working on my instrument. I want to get a multi- engine, tail wheel and fly gliders. Cost is extremely prohibitive but I am “finding a way” because it is so much fun. I figure I might only have ten good years left to fly (hopefully more) but that’s not stopping me from enjoying the journey. I agree with one of the previous comments, you are just entering another “phase” of your flying experience ! So, after your period of contemplation, stop feeling sorry for yourself, don’t reflect too much on the past and enjoy another chapter adding more memories, because the time you stop creating memories is when you no longer walk the earth….
My goodness, did my article sound self-pitying? That is certainly not how I feel about things. Life is busy (too busy, as retirement life often feels) and rich, and I have little to complain about. Today we took down 6 massive emerald ash borer-killed ash trees, and that will take one’s mind off other problems!
Seriously, as the Bible says, to everything there is a season, and my flying season is over. That is neither good, nor bad; it just is. As for an aviation future, time will tell.
I found your article by chance today. I am saddened that this part of aviation has come to an end for you. We’ve met at a couple of EAA meetings. I feel fortunate to have had that opportunity. I was hoping that we could have enjoyed a few flights together in your Chief. I see my own health declining and know that eventually I’ll have to give up being PIC. I lost my older brother to leukemia a year ago. He was my flight instructor. I had retired only the November before and looked forward to at least a few years of further flying with him. Flying has been a part of our family since WWII. Even had a grass strip on our family farm back in the late 50’s and into the 60’s where a lot of local guys got their wings. I even have 3 nephews that are pilots. One is a captain for Mesa Airlines. I have been away from flying for over a year except for keeping my medical current and attendIng a few EAA events. Still plan on visiting Oshkosh once again. That will always be on my calendar each year. Sad that we who are captivated by aviation finally have to exit the thrill of flying ourselves in light planes. I have on my checks the phrase “The sky is waiting for those that have the passion to fly with Eagles”. I plan to be involved in aviation for a long time. It is life changing!
Mike, thanks for the kind words. Like you, I found aviation to be life-changing. The list of wonderful experiences I had and people I met through aviation is long and gratifying. But to everything there is a season, turn, turn, turn.
I’m sorry to hear you decided to hang up your wings, but I hope it was your decision, not some face less burocrate in Oklahoma who doesn’t know you, or your capabilities.
This B/S of private pilot medicals must go.
Ian, I am a retired physician with considerable experience in aeromedical certification issues. In my medical and aeronautical self-assessment, I decided it was time to stop flying, even under the Sport Pilot rule.
I respect your self-assessment and your decision to stop flying.
Everyone of us can learn from you.
Part of being a safe pilot is the art of ADM/ORM and personal minimums.
You set your personal minimums wisely, ” your way”.
Thanks again for being such a great example !!!!!
Congratulations, Hunter, on a decision that may be quite wise. As for me, I’ve averaged about 1-hour per day FOR SIXTY YEARS, 22,000 hours. At 84, I still fly a bit, and even squeeze in a few hours of aerobatics now and again, just to maintain a few of my former skills. But the majority of my hours came through 36-years of flying the Alaska bush. One loses his sharp edge, however, when he cannot fly almost every day of the week. After that, flying seems but a selfish matter of point-to-point travel convenience. I’ll always miss flying the Alaska outback, and now temper that loss in writing about flying the edge. That helps, but as you now know, there can be no substitute for the real thing . . .
Mort, thanks for the kind words. The only pilot I’ve known who beat your hours was my pilot examiner back in Rochester, MN, who after Flying P-38s in WWII made his living instructing, examining, and flying air taxi. He had as I recall 36,000 hours plus. As a strictly amateur pilot, I felt that if I got in one hour/week, I could keep sharp enough to be safe in the kind of flying I did. But in recent years, that amount of flying was not possible, and the consequent loss of the “sharp edge” was one reason to hang up the headset.
Outstanding article. Just wish you would expand it into a book. You’ve certainly had an illustrious and enviable career. I’m a whopping 70 years old with the spirit a 3rd my age and in relatively good health. Like you, my interest in aviation began early, but for one reason or another (mostly responsibilities to others) I was unable to get beyond my first flying lesson back in the 1970s. Now that I recently became very financially independent, I’m considering ordering a spanking new Bonanza to take a shot at getting a late start. I doubt that I’ll make it into the Guinness Book, but it’ll be a helluva ride.
Mick, a book?? No, no. It’s hard enough for me to tell coherent short tales; it would be a short book if I wrote one. I am glad you may be able to buy a NEW Bonanza. Wow. Yes, it will be one hell of a ride. Best wishes for many hours of safe and enjoyable flying.
Thanks for the unexpected reply. If you send me your email address, I can guarantee an interesting chat or two.
I too am thinking of hanging it up. I am a retired TWA pilot with some 25000 hrs. & @ 76 still in pretty good shape, but money is still tough to come by @ paying more than 150/hour to stay current is hard to justify. Good luck with your decision.
Capt. Mooney: How does the old joke go? Q: what is it that holds an airplane up in the air? A: The laminar flow of dollar bills over the top of the wings.
The arguments about the cost of flying go on and on, but I must say, current rental and fuel costs give me sticker shock. I recall with amusement Andy Anderson of Rochester, MN, from whom I rented the Musketeer for my primary training, being so apologetic when he had to increase the wet rental rate for the Musky from $19/hr to $21/hr! More recently, I bought an old Chief, hoping to fly on the cheap, only to re-discover that cheap airplanes can cost a lot of money when you maintain them to a high standard.
Sorry about that email address request. Your policy must be: Only one reply per customer.
Making a decision as you did based on safety concerns is a characteristic of true airmanship. I purposely delayed this response to your article because I’m sure that, by now, you are seeing the benefits of hanging up your wings. Benefits like more cash on hand to save or to spend for other necessities in life, freedom from pressure to stay current in your skills, more time for other fun activities, increased contact with family and friends, not having to worry how every activity or visit to the doctor may ultimately contribute to the loss of your medical, and the list goes on.
I, too, vacated the left seat a year ago. It wasn’t due to concerns about my health, nor to any gradual deterioration of my skills. I obtained my Private in 2006, became Instrument rated 5 years ago, and flew for the Civil Air Patrol. I am proud to have accomplished something that is achieved by only a tiny fraction of the population. Every minute of it was great fun.
An elderly mother with numerous age-related problems and a sibling in failing health were demanding too much of my time and mental energy for me to feel like a totally safe, competent flyer. The other factor was the crushing expense of flying that is ever-increasing, even though I belonged to a flying club that helped make my love of aviation somewhat less expensive. A major reason for my learning to fly was the freedom to travel long distances without dealing with the hassles of airlines or vehicular traffic. Unfortunately the cost of flying cross-country on my own to a location 500 miles away can easily exceed a thousand dollars round trip. The same trek in my economy car will run a little over 100 dollars. Factor in the time to preflight and driving to the airport, the time savings to fly is only around 30 to 40 percent. That’s a no-brainer decision right there.
I thoroughly enjoyed my flying days but have no regrets about leaving them behind as fond memories. Hunter, I hope you feel the same way after that door has closed and other opportunities present themselves to you. A full, joyful life is one filled with many varied experiences. Flying was one such great experience for us. Allow yourself to embrace and enjoy the ones you have yet to meet. Good luck and have a happy life, you deserve it!
Larry, thanks for the thoughtful response to my article. It’s my good fortune to have many interests in aviation, including writing about it, and leaving flying is not a cause for depression and regret. As I said in my article, it was a great ride, and I’m grateful for it. Your situation represents one of GA’s core problems: relative to other pleasures, it is very expensive. Even a simple old airplane like my Chief can drink a lot of money if one keeps it at a high standard of fitment and maintenance. The declining number of active pilots is only making things worse, as prices rise to compensate (or so the merchants hope) for selling fewer/less of everything. Man, I wish I had the answers….
Good article. Just made the same decision at age 74. Still healthy, active and love to fly. Money played a factor. After owning 2 airplanes, I just cannot justify $190.00 per hour, plus one hour to drive to a location that has a rental.
Hunter….I recently came across your well written article. I got my PPL when I was 25 and because of family and job demands I stopped but knowing that some day would come where I could afford the time and money to go back to it. Well here I am some 40 years later and finally through encouragement of my family recertified and started flying again. For a while I said to friends and family I wish I had gone back to flying sooner but I came to realize I’m so glad I didn’t wait longer and 10 or 20 years from now looked back and said I should have done it but didn’t. I don’t know how long I will have left before I have to make that decision of “time to stop flying” but in the meantime I’m enjoying every minute of being back in the air. I agree with one of the earlier comments. Take an instructor with you and keep flying. You can still sit in the left seat and have fun at it. Don’t give it up.
It’s great to find that an old article still finds a reader now and then! I am very happy that you went back to flying. Your story recalls what my father did, getting his license in the early 1940s but quitting flying soon after, only resuming flying in the ’70s. Sadly, Dad died at 61 and had relatively few flying years in that second phase. As for taking an instructor and continuing to fly from the left seat, man, it just isn’t the same. There are also practical issues: owning and insuring an airplane one is not qualified to fly is hard to defend, esp. to a spouse! Subsequent to writing the article, health issues have progressed, and it would not be in anyone’s best interest for me to continue flying with the stick in hand. My flying days are over, but as I said in the article and in responses above, it was a great ride, no regrets.
I hope when it comes time for me to stop I can be as graceful as you Hunter. I looked at going into a quarter share of owing a C-172 but at my age I find it better to rent and when the time comes to stop being the PIC I know I can still rent from my Flying Club…sit in the left seat but knowing I have to have one of the Clubs instructor in the right seat. At this point in my life I am okay with that…but I’ll see if I still feel that way 20 years from now. For now I go up as long as the pocket book allows. Thanks for getting back to me. Take care.
As I understand it, recreational aviation survives in Europe through flying clubs, which spread cost of ownership over many individuals, and allows a bit more clout with airports, etc. than one person can exert. You are fortunate to have access to a club. What you need tho is a flying club with 2 or 3 spiffy LSAs– mega fun on 3-4 gallons/hr of auto gas, just can’t be beat!
You are so right Hunter…I am fortunate that I have a flying club within driving distance of my home. It’s a training facility so they have a fleet of C-172’s available for rent. It would be nice to find a club with LSA’s but I live on an island in BC, Canada and finding a club nearby with other than C-172’s is near impossible. Right now I’m like a sponge soaking up every bit of knowledge I can find as things have changed in 40 years. Going back to flying has been so good for me. I feel like a young man learning new skills. My plan is to get a night and mountain rating as we have lots of mountains in BC.
Sorry to hear your health is not good. As you said “good ride…no regrets”. That’s all one can ask for when looking at the big picture.
As usual, I’ve just ran across an excellent article, and find myself years “late to the party”.
I, too, had to come to such a difficult (that’s understated beyond belief) decision to give up my passion of flying. Mine was for various reasons, including a self-evaluation of my health and the direction it was going. Maybe I could have flown another 20 years… but would I have eventually begun to endanger myself and others. Possibly. Gosh, I do miss it so..!
When I was flying, it was always recreational, but included a lot of xc. Like the rest, I got to know quite a few in the personal flying community. A long time ago, I came to the conclusion that those weekend flyers who took to the air only an hour or two a month were dangerous because that’s typically not enough to keep the edge. And, I agree that just going up now and then with a guardian to get stick time just isn’t the same. Perhaps it seems like an infringement on freedom, which I think is a key in the love of flying.
Ironically, I had lunch with a friend today, and was explaining to him how age and rust can dull our various “sensors”… sometimes senses we once heavily relied on without ever realizing it or thinking about them. Had I not quit flying when I did, I would quit today.
That isn’t intended as advice to others. Quite the contrary… fly as long as you’re competent and your skills and “sensors” are still sharp. BUT, that requires knowing yourself, and continually doing honest self evaluations. How quick are your reactions? If your windshield suddenly filled up with another aircraft trying to occupy your airspace (or you theirs), how quickly would you make the right decision and how good is your muscle-memory to react with the controls to avoid marrying those two airplanes right there in the sky? I think Mister Heath came up with the perfect question to ask himself. Ask yourself that question, and never stop asking it until you don’t like the answer… then hang it up, and walk away with great memories to share all your remaining life.
(Remember, you don’t have to be an active pilot to be an excellent mentor… there’s a whole crowd of young folks who can learn valuable lessons from your stories and your advice.)
Thanks for the kind remarks about my article, and for reinforcing the most important points. Another point we should all think about, in addition to yours, is that every GA crash is a blot on the whole of personal aviation– making another bunch of spouses dig in their heels about the partner’s desire to fly. I didn’t want to be featured in news articles as that “elderly pilot” who crashed in someone’s back yard because of a physical limitation or incapacitation..
Thank you for such a well written article. I am facing the decision to stop flying due to health issues. And selling the beautiful Piper J3 I have owned and loved and enjoyed for 33 years. I did my first solo in my plane, when I was a student and it was a rental.
It is a very difficult decision but I realize it is time to move on. And, like you, I have no desire to “ride along” with someone as it is not the same experience. I have had a wonderful ride, but now it is done. It is time for someone else to be my plane’s caretaker and enjoy it like I have. Thank you for helping me feel like I am doing the right thing.
For Martha Eney,
Thank you for the kind remarks about the article. I am glad it helped you in decision-making about hanging up the headset. A good friend and his wife died recently in a crash of their kit built aircraft– in their 70s– a tragedy of the kind I wanted to avoid by quitting while I was ahead.

Cosy Mystery, Female Detectives, Mystery
Virginia Holmes, Book # 1
Poisoned Pen Press
July 8th 2018
November 9, 2022 November 12, 2022
Cloak and Dagger, Mount TBR, Virtual Mount TBR
A murder has occurred at the Filmore Hotel, one of Madison, Wisconsin's most discreet lakeside resorts. It looks cut and dry: a suspect fleeing the scene, a scorned wife, a mythical murder weapon.
But then a retired detective by the name of Virginia Holmes arrives. There's more to this mystery than meets the eye… and the murderer might still be inside the hotel.
What I think
I liked the case, even if it was very simple in the sense that it was obvious that what the police thought, was not true. But at least Holmes’s character is as particular as the one from which the author draws inspiration.
I like that it’s narrated by a writer, like the series from which it takes inspiration where Watson wants to write the exploits of Holmes (Sherlock). And the “detectives” are women, therefore an extra plus.

We pay for that dump to continue operating, it’s time we stop. We can use that money to pay for the border wall, and removing them from NY means we will gain some prime NY real estate. I think NY could use some affordable housing or even another park. Either will improve lives more than what that collection of malcontents does. Historically, the UN has made things worse in the world. Just ask Rwanda and Haiti.

The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly Thursday for a resolution effectively rebuking U.S. President Donald Trump for recognizing the disputed city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and pledging to move the U.S. embassy there.
The vote came despite threats by Mr. Trump and U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley that the U.S. would take punitive measures, such as reducing foreign aid and cutting contributions to the U.N., against countries voting in favor of the resolution.
The General Assembly resolution didn’t explicitly refer to the U.S., instead asserting that unilateral decisions such as Mr. Trump’s have no legal effect and must be rescinded. In the vote, 128 countries voted in favor and 9 against, with 35 abstaining.
“We will remember [the vote], when so many countries come calling on us to pay even more and to use our influence to their benefit,” Ms. Haley said during the General Assembly debate, adding the emergency meeting and the vote were signs of disrespect toward the U.S. for exercising its sovereignty by deciding to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. She said the vote wouldn’t affect Mr. Trump’s decision.
Ms.Haley appeared visibly angry and left the chamber after speaking.
Does anyone have a link to the actual vote tally?
For, Against and Abstentions? All these news sites, and no links…

193 United Nations member states: 35 abstained, 21 no shows, 137 no votes.
Added the No Show count, one report said Ukraine was a no show, but nothing more than that reported.
Still waiting on the complete list…Anyone?
posted 12/21 314pm Texas[Present!]Time
Here’s the list of countries who voted:
Here’s one from the BBC…So Japan and South Korea just couldn’t manage to abstain? After we’re covering their arse from the Homicidal Maniac in North Korea? What do they care about Israel? They’re half way around the world from the Middle East…
Here’s the deal, let’s recognize Yokohama as the Capital of Japan and move our embassy…
posted 12/21 350pm Texas[Defund Now]Time
The countries that voted with us are; Togo, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Honduras, Guatemala and Israel. Think the common denominator is that most of those countries do little trade with Europe and except for Israel don’t have Islamic hate problem. That international Paris climate accord sure would have been great. Not.
I just remembered that both South Korea and Japan are dependent on the oil from the Middle East, so they HAD to side with their Energy Overlords or else…
posted 12/21 639pm Texas[Taking Names]Time
Now that USA is back in the energy business, they should be buying their oil from us.
How every country voted on Trump’s Jerusalem move:
It is well past time the world understands that this kind of negative group mentality against the Jews is NOT acceptable and will not be tolerated, at least not by us. I’m glad President Trump and Nikki Haley took a hammer to the reset button and showed the world that we will stand up for the Jewish people and against the U.N.

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), the state-run telecom operator, is all set to launch the 4G network services in January 2023. The telco has reportedly completed Proof-of-Concept (PoC) trials with the TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) led consortium. TCS is already confident about the opportunities that this deal with BSNL is going to open for the company in the global market, which is dominated by names such as Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei. According to an FE report, the trials for 4G PoC were completed by BSNL in Chandigarh in the last week of October 2022. A government official told the publication that now it will be decided where the 4G services will be rolled out using the indigenous technology stack.
Pricing and Commercial Terms are Yet to be Finalised Between TCS and BSNL
BSNL and TCS are yet to finalise the pricing and commercial terms. BSNL is looking to deploy the indigenous 4G technology stack in over 100,000 sites in India. While this will happen in a phased manner, the telco and the IT major need to come to an agreement on the commercial terms of the deal. Earlier, there were reports that BSNL wasn't happy with the cost estimates projected by TCS for the upgradation of 3G sites to 4G.
While it looks like BSNL would mostly stick with the Tata Group companies to get the work done, just how it will be done is something we will have to wait and watch. BSNL is not going to be able to launch 5G NSA (non-standalone) if it doesn't upgrade to 4G networks fast. TCS and C-DoT have designed the indigenous 4G stack, and Tejas Networks will be the supplier of the equipment in the deal.
Earlier this year, BSNL received a Rs 1.64 lakh crore revival package. That covered the capex that would be required to roll out 4G, along with paying off dues and reducing debt from the balance sheet. If things go well and a commercial agreement is signed soon, BSNL can roll out indigenous 4G as soon as January 2023.

The story is primarily about colors, yes, but there are blind characters in the game and more importantly the story is about how a society surrounding color causes people who can experience color to essentially be controlled by it, while the blind are rejected for not understanding it, but are free from the binds of seeing life in color.Color is essentially a vague analogy for various social differences.Braillemon is currently in the early stages of development, but it has many testers to ensure the quality of the code.I hope that in the future Braillemon will be able to communicate with other computers to enable live battles, trading, and the like, as well as eventually being able to access every region in the Pokemon games!Once an enemy Pokmon faints, the player's Pokmon involved in the battle receive a certain number of experience points (EXP).After accumulating enough EXP, a Pokmon will level up.
The game is completely sound based and can be played without even a monitor!
I kind of see the game as being a game about colors and blind people. Home of Survive the Wild A multiplayer game, whare your goal is litterily survival!

Who Did You Think He Was?
In the world of music, John Mayer has left his footsteps in almost every genre. He caught his fame in pop, stomped into the blues, camped out in country for some time, and even visited rap on occasion. His vocal skills have improved throughout the years, but his guitar is an extension of his voice. In terms of skill, some people would be surprised to hear that Mayer is one of the best guitarists currently in the industry. He’s earned praise from both Eric Clapton and B.B. King. He’s proven he makes every artist around him better even if they aren’t in his band. Here’s five moments where it is well-proven.
Maren Morris- “The Bones”
“The Bones” showcases Maren Morris’s vocal talent, putting her up in the ranks of female country artists. For an upcoming artist with tons of potential, she could have carried her recent Grammy Awards performance alone. However, she had John Mayer backing her up.
His presence in “The Bones” brought him back to his Born & Raised era. His ego was aside despite the heavy spotlight. Once his time came for a solo, it elevated the dramatic tension to the song. Morris’s already powerful performance was lifted by his energy. His solo also allowed the entire band to play louder. In the end, Morris’s Grammy performance was brought to a higher status through a touch of Mayer.
Mac Miller- “Small Worlds”
Mac Miller was one of the most talented musicians of our generation. His death in 2018 left the music world in a depressed mourning period that is still felt today. The memorial concert for him named “A Celebration of Life” in L.A.’s Greek Theater featured Chance, the Rapper, Travis Scott, and the wild card John Mayer.
“Small Worlds” was Miller fusing his rap bars with jazz instrumentals. This blended style just made sense for Mayer to cover the song. He may not spit the bars at the level of Miller, but his vocal melodies flow with the jazz music. As usual, he had to jam out a little solo, which was cool and didn’t change the mood of the song. “Small Worlds” is in the atmosphere of Mayer’s “Gravity”. Mayer improved on the instrumental aspect of Miller’s song, but it felt empty without Mac Miller himself.
If this concert piqued any interest, check out Mayer’s appearance in Thundercat’s performance of “Them Changes” from the same night!
Ed Sheeran- “Don’t”
John Mayer, the comedian? Yes, there was a time in 2015 where he hosted The Late Late Show on CBS. His monologues were quite funny as he made himself the target of many punchlines. He even teased Taylor Swift for ignoring his friendly gestures.
One artist that joined in on the fun was Ed Sheeran. Fresh off his platinum album x, the duo performed a late-night version of “Don’t”. This track’s studio version is a quiet, coffee-shop pop song. Meanwhile, Mayer turned the tables.
While Sheeran rapped the verses and strummed the beat on an acoustic, Mayer was doing his thing in the background with a bright-pink electric guitar. It’s entertaining for the sole purpose of Mayer and the drummer playing in their own world. Mayer’s falsetto back-up vocals do the job, but the solo is electrifying. This song may be his best work with a whammy-bar, too. Sheeran will never be able to top this performance of “Don’t” ever again.
Alicia Keys- “If I Ain’t Got You”
Alicia Keys is the John Mayer of female pianists. “If I Ain’t Got You” elegantly places Keys at the top-tier level of our generation. This performance only gets better as the song progresses. Audiences did not know it could get better after inviting drummer Questlove and John Mayer onto the stage to the vibe.
This is an instance where Mayer’s vocal talent actually became the highlight of the performance. He steps in on vocals for the second verse while Keys does her thing on piano. For the chorus, the duet between the two is unmatched. It became the collaboration the world did not know they needed. It was a mistake to not have these two work together in the past for an album such as 2006’s Continuum. It only gets better once they medley the song into “Gravity”. These two powerhouses made one another’s songs better and it needs to happen more.
Jimi Hendrix- “Wait Until Tomorrow”
Where The Light Is is top-tier John Mayer material. The live album includes Mayer’s most popular cover, “Free Fallin’”, with over 390 million streams on Spotify. However, this is not the best cover on the album.
The show features a set from the John Mayer Trio, all in coordinated Blues Brothers suits. It was bold (as love) for them to touch Hendrix material, but they were prepared to shock the audience. “Wait Until Tomorrow” had the Jimi Hendrix Experience delve into a slower, jazz-like beat which slightly escalated over time. This blues trio took the song to the other side of the axis, turning it into an upbeat rock song.
Mayer’s young ambition is the soul of this cover. It’s his version of Marty McFly playing “Johnny B. Goode” at the high school prom. His guitar licks are smooth, Steve Jordan’s drum beats are intense and Pino Palladino ensures a hard bassline. Mayer’s ending solo is prolonged and we wish it was longer. He unleashes sounds in the vein of Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Even Jordan can be seen grinning ear-to-ear, knowing he is witnessing something special.
Bruce Springsteen- “I’m On Fire”
Mayer’s cover of Springsteen’s somber song was an Apple Music exclusive for his 2008 album Battle Studies. This finger-picking version is a quiet one and worthy to at least get an honorable mention.
The Police- “Message In The Bottle”
Any Given Thursday is an early live album from his career. His melancholic acoustic cover of The Police song was a surprise on the setlist, but not enough to surpass the original.

The Turkish Super League champions Besiktas have joined Sunderland in the race to sign Adnan Januzaj from Manchester United.
The Daily Mail have reported that Sunderland are keen to snap up the 21-year-old on loan. The Black Cats boss David Moyes managed Januzaj during his break-out season at United and is playing a major role in negotiations.
Meanwhile, the Italian outlet RAI (via Fotospor) have stated that Besiktas are also interested in signing Januzaj, who spent last season out on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
According to theTelegraph, Jose Mourinho has instructed Januzaj to find a new club. Per the source, United are willing to accept a £10 million offer for the Belgium international.
The Belgium international has failed to keep a regular spot in the first team over the past few seasons at United and enjoyed a disappointing loan move to Dortmund over the second half of last season.

The mighty pumpkin seed. Could Southwest Idaho become a domestic source?
seeds contain a wide variety of nutrients ranging from magnesium and manganese to copper, protein, and zinc.Last summer Idaho business review posted an article on the potential for Idaho and Oregon to become a source for pumpkin seeds. Currently, most of the seeds sold in markets come from China.
Pumpkin seeds are rich in antioxidants, iron, zinc, magnesium and many other nutrients. An ounce (28 grams) contains about 151 calories.
Pumpkin Seed Growers in the Treasure Valley?
American retailers prefer to buy domestic foods, but most pumpkin seeds in snack foods come from China, she said.
Kit Kamo director of the Snake River Economic Development Alliance says there are local farmers interested in growing the seeds, and a researcher from Oregon State University is developing a cost estimate for producing and handling them. The findings will help determine whether seed pumpkins — which are distinct from decorative pumpkins and those grown for pumpkin pie — would be economically viable in Malheur County, Oregon and southwest Idaho.
“We feel there is a potential,” she told The Argus Observer of Ontario, Oregon.
Kamo said she met with officials from Kathie’s Kitchen, which produces the SuperSeedz brand of seasoned or flavored pumpkin seeds.
The seeds are harvested wet and will need to be washed and dried so they can be stored, she said. The seeds can be substituted in some applications for soy products, for people who are allergic to soy.
Pumpkin seeds aren’t the only potential new crop for the Western Treasure Valley. Most sunflower seeds used in snacks are also grown in China and may present another opportunity for farmers in the Treasure Valley, Kamo said.

In another interview from his appearance at the Paley Center on Thursday, Lawrence Kasdan told Hero Complex that he wants his film to be something new:
“I’m trying to start fresh,” he said. “There are certain pleasures that we think the saga can bring to people that they’ve been missing, and we’re hoping to bring them that, and at the same time, have them feel that it’s all new.”
It’s implied (by Hero Complex) that means ignoring the existing Expanded Universe, but it’s worth noting that some fans are also hoping these spin-offs don’t rehash things that the EU has already covered extensively – like Han’s backstory.
He also credits George Lucas with bringing him onto the project, his favorite Star Wars film, and the focus of the original trilogy.

He wouldn’t answer when asked about who the films will feature, but Kasdan has plenty of praise for Michael Arndt and J.J. Abrams.
No news bombs were dropped, but it’s a nice interview with a bit of insight behind the curtain.

Though he hasn’t heard anything from Lucasfilm, Frank Oz would be willing to return to voice Yoda, according to Hero Complex. But don’t expect another puppet version:
“I think it depends on the story, but I think at this point you can’t go back to the puppet,” he said. “The reason George [Lucas] did the CGI, which I supported, was that he wanted to tell a story that would have been hampered by the physical limitations of the puppet.”

Actors. An Australian DJ (?!?) is claiming that John Noble will be playing the villain in Episode VII. You probably know Noble as Fringe’s Walter Bishop, or from Lord of the Rings, where he played Denethor, perhaps Middle-Earth’s least stable father figure. Like Walter Bishop, I have my skeptic face on.
Abrams alumni Keri Russell would be down for Star Wars, because once again, who’s going to say they don’t want to be in Star Wars?
And finally, Ewan McGregor doesn’t know anything about the new movies, but it seems like he’s still game. He’ll be talking about his new film, Jack and the Giant Slayer, on Ellen this Friday.
The once and future directors. HuffPo’s Mike Ryan has a great article exploring the Star Wars directors thus far. And at the Star Wars Blog, Bonnie Burton has the relevant quotes from her past interviews with J.J. Abrams.
Solo, solo. Hollywood.com’s Christian Blauvelt talks about casting (and writing) a younger Han Solo with Scoundrels author Timothy Zahn. Since the conversation naturally turns to casting Thrawn, Zahn spoke a bit more about casting his characters back on January’s book tour for Scoundrels.
Money matters. George Lucas has filed to cash out his Disney stock – the 37,076,679 shares that were half the purchase price for Lucasfilm. (Note: The move doesn’t mean he has to or even will sell immediately, just that he can.) In any case, it was announced early on that Lucas would donate the company’s purchase price to fund “educational issues.”

The Han film will take place sometime between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, while the Fett film will be set in-between the OT films, they claim.
Han is generally believed to be about 10 at the time of Revenge, and there was, if I recall the concept art book correctly, some early talk of him actually showing up on Kashyyyk in the film. UPDATE: Slashfilm dug it up.
UPDATE #2: Meanwhile, Deadline claims that Lucasfilm is still “kicking around” spin-off ideas, and nothing is set in stone yet.

Disney CEO Bob Iger dropped a couple of bombs on us this afternoon regarding future Star Wars movies.
Lucasfilm is working on ‘a few’ standalone films featuring existing characters – but not part of the overall saga. Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg are working on them – thus confirming the second half of an older rumor.
Iger said that Disney and Lucasfilm hope to make Episodes VII-IX over “a six-year period.” They’re still aiming for a 2015 release, but “a few other films” will be released “in that period of time.” Bryan Young speculates that this likely means we’ll be getting a Star Wars film on a yearly basis, which is in line with sister studio Pixar’s output
UPDATE: StarWars.com adds that Kasdan and Kinberg are working on two films separately, each focusing “on a specific character,” and that they’re both expected to come out after Episode VII.
Iger declined to name any specific characters, so the Yoda film still remains strictly a rumor – but certainly a far more likely one now. I’d also place bets on Boba Fett getting his own movie – but if it keeps him (and his director fanboys) out of further Episodes, that’s a price I will (grudgingly) pay.

Rumor time! While we’ve heard before that Disney was interested in doing Star Wars movies not in the main storyline (looking at you, Zack Snyder’s Seven Samurai-inspired film), but here’s a new rumor to add to the wall: Ain’t It Cool News reports that the first standalone film is going to focus on Yoda.
The first Stand Alone film is going to center upon YODA. At this stage specifics are sparse, but Kathleen Kennedy is putting together a STAR WARS slate… I’m wildly curious for more details on the YODA film – would this be a young or old YODA tale?
As always, it’s a rumor, until we have official confirmation.
Also mentioned in the same post: Star Wars theme land in Disney’s California Adventure.

Vulture reports that director director Zack Snyder (300, the forthcoming Man of Steel) is developing a Star Wars project for Lucasfilm that will be “parallel to the next trilogy.”
It will be an as-yet-untitled Jedi epic loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai, with the ronin and katana being replaced by the Force-wielding knights and their iconic lightsabers.
Within hours, Snyder’s representative denied the rumors to The Hollywood Reporter. “While he is super flattered because he is a huge fan, Zack is not involved in any way with the new Star Wars. He is currently in post on his two films, Man of Steel and 300: Battle of Artemisia.”
Vulture is standing by their report, claiming their source says Snyder had met with Lucasfilm. They say the denial has to do with studio politics regarding the possibility of a Man of Steel sequel.
Meanwhile, Variety’s Jeff Sneider tweeted:
No clue how REAL the Zack Snyder – Star Wars offshoot rumors are but I GUARANTEE he met with Kathy Kennedy to pitch her that Seven Jedi idea
— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) January 15, 2013
I admit I rather hope the denial stays the status quo… Snyder’s made some decent action flicks, but he’s not someone I’m salivating to see take on Star Wars.
This isn’t the first rumor regarding possible side projects. Still unconfirmed are the reports of a Kasdan/Kinberg project, which was also described as being “separate” from the new episodes.

Richmond, Va. -- The man who won the 2015 Anthem Richmond Marathon finished the 26-mile race in two hours and 18 minutes. The fastest woman crossed the finish line near Brown's Island in two hours and 42 minutes. The marathon officially ended seven hours after the last runners took from the starting line at from Grace Street at 5th Streets. But for Nikkia Young, her race was an eight hour and six minute journey that pushed her to the edge of her mental and physical limit.
While she did not officially finish the race (one must complete the race in seven hours to "officially" finish), Young said she accomplished her goal by crossing the finish line.
"You know you want to finish, but then when other people are so excited to see your success, that's really what the Richmond running community is all about," Young said. "I could not let them down. I knew I could not let myself down."
Young, 24, decided over the summer to run the Richmond Marathon after she had fun running both the Monument Avenue 10k and the half marathon last year.
"It's kind of like a gradual progression of nuts," she said describing her interest in running. "When I moved here I wanted to focus on my fitness. I had just graduated college. I had gotten a new job and I finally had all this free time that I never had before."
While she felt she properly trained for the Richmond Marathon, she admitted the experience was much different than the other races she completed.
"It's a whole different animal," she said about the 26-mile course.
The morning of the race was one she described as being filled with anxiety and excitement.
"Am I going to keep going when it gets horrible?" she recalled asking herself as the start of the race approached.
When the race started, Young said she kept her slow and steady pace, making sure to hit the cutoff times to avoid being left behind.
Around Mile 15, Young said she made it to the Lee Bridge where the wind "knocked the life out" of her. By the time she hit Mile 18, she knew she had to pick up her pace to hit the Mile 20 cutoff. She said that is when she closed her eyes and ran blind, pushed herself and relied on her friends for support.
"I worked too hard to get there and there were a lot of people rooting for me," she said.
As she approached the finish line, "it got pretty interesting," she said. She said she was having trouble breathing and congestion set in. A friend, waiting for her at the finish line, ran up to encourage her to the end. "You gotta finish this thing," he said.
"At this point, I knew that everything had been shutdown, the course had been shutdown," Young said. "Mind you, there are people behind me still, but you still had to finish."
Even though the big crowds had long gone home, Young saw her friends and running teammates, some of whom finished three hours earlier, waiting for her at the bottom of the hill.
"When I saw it... I picked up the pace and jaunted down the hill," she said. "It's the most exciting. I'm coming down the hill and there's a solid 20 people waiting for me to finish."
She called crossing the finishing line an emotional experience.
"Everyone is in tears. We're all just a mess. It's the end of something great," she said.
While it may have marked the end of that race milestone, Young is not done running. She is signed up to run a 5k and half marathon this weekend and the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach in March.
She hopes her story can inspire others who are on the fence about running.
"I think a lot of people need someone to look to who is like them. A lot of people think these running superheros, they think 'I've got to be skinny, I've got to be the fastest, I have to be the best.' But you have to be the best for you," she said. "There's not really such a thing as a typical runner. There's all shapes and sizes. It's more so about your heart and what you want to do and how hard you want to push, rather than what you look like."
With the help of Richmond's running community, Young believes she has found a supportive home, away from home.
"That's the best part about running in Richmond. There's a whole diverse group of people. Some people walk, some people run. But as long as you're moving forward, it really doesn't matter. Just keep moving forward until you're finished," Young said.
