Where's Trin?

Quite a few people have been asking that question lately.

Rest assured, I haven't gone anywhere.

Well, I haven't left the game, anyway.

The truth is that I *have* been going somewhere.

Regularly.

I've been going flying.

That's right, I'm taking flying lessons.

I'm working on my Private Pilot Certificate.

Aviation has always been a significant force in my life, and my wife finally agreed not to let her fear of flying keep me from doing one of the things I've wanted to do all my life.

So, there have been quite a few evenings where, instead of running amok in the streets of Stormreach, I've been carefully studying maneuvers and proceedures, and preparing for my limited time in the cockpit.

I say limited, because I can only go flying once every couple of weeks. So, I have to make the most of that time.

However, studying for this does consume a considerable amount of time.

Approximately 45 minutes, every day.

So, if you don't see me in Stormreach, please forgive me.

I'm still here.

Just working on one of those things that's *very* important to me.

And, for those interested, the landings are getting good. I should be able to solo soon. Then it's on to cross-country and night flying. If I maintain a good track, I should complete my certificate sometime next Spring. We'll have to see how that goes.

In the mean time, many of the Face Stabbers who've taken a leave of absence from the game are beginning to return.

Even Meany is back.

So, now we're planning the FSM Reunion Raiding Tour.

Not all of the stops have yet been planned. We're working on that one.

I look forward to seeing everyone in game, even if it isn't as often as it once was.

Keep it fun, everyone!
