My Wife Said, No, I Don't Think That's Quite Right For Us. We Need To Do More. We Can Do Better.

A Plane Is A Guilty Pleasure. I Have One. It's A Great Luxury. I Appreciate It. I Couldn't Do What I Do. It's Not Something You Can Write Down As Anything Other Than, "wow, I Can't Believe I Have This And I'm Absolutely Spoiled And Entitled." On The Other Hand, I Have One And I Use It.
