Holy Crap!

I've been sitting on this photo for a little while... and had forgotten about it until clearing some snapshots off my iPhone today. The bumper sticker of the car in front of me kind of caught my eye so I snapped a shot of it....

jc.JPGIn case you can't quite read the bumper sticker, it says, "This car is covered by the blood of jesus christ". If the owner of this vehicle put that sticker on there to be ironic, he's a f--king genius. But somehow, I think the irony is lost on the poor individual who placed the sticker on his or her car.

I've Created A New Blog...

I decided to place all my blog entries about flying and flying lessons in a separate blog.

You can view it here: Dirk L'Orange Is Flying...

I'll add a link to this page on the left side a little later.

Emptiness

Most of you know, that my father passed away a few months ago. For those of you who haven't, he died on September 15. It's kinda weird to think he's been gone for almost 3 months....

I've never had someone that close to me die before.... and it's been tough. As tough as it has been, I can tell you that the toughest part for me wasn't seeing his life slip away in the hospital. It wasn't being at his funeral and having to "saying" goodbye. It wasn't even having to deal with some family, who right after this whole thing, go back to their pettiness and bickering.

Those of you who've had someone close to you die will understand what I'm about to say, and those of you who haven't will, at some point in the future, understand what I'm about to say... The toughest part is living day to day and feeling like things have pretty much gone back to normal and then, out of the blue, hearing something or seeing something makes you think of that person and reminds you that you have a big part of you missing.... and that just sucks.
