Day: October 7, 2005

As of today I am signed up as a flight instructor at one of Boston’s most active flight schools:  East Coast Aero Club (www.ecas.com).  I’ll be doing primary instruction in the Diamond Katana aircraft and perhaps some of the 1999 Piper Warriors (almost brand-new by flight school standards and equipped with GPS).  I’ll also be doing one- and two-week cross-country instrument training trips, mostly with folks who have their own airplanes.

Michael Bloomberg is up for reelection.  I asked a friend who runs a non-profit organization down in Manhattan whether Mr. Bloomberg had done a good job as mayor.  She works intimately with the NYC public schools.  “Before Bloomberg, at least 40 percent of the school budget was pure waste.  Now it is down to 25 percent.  So I’d say that he is doing a pretty good job.”
