This is volume one of my notebook from the time when I was a virtual WWII fighter pilot. It was created on a virtual notebook as I was sitting in the shade under a virtual palm tree, while I was doing a tour of duty on a small virtual South Pacific island waiting for my next combat mission. The thoughts and words here are things that I have read, heard, learned, felt and said. Some of the words here are my own, some of them are not. First and foremost I hope that my notebook helps you smile and maybe laugh a little. If there are small gems of wisdom, well, all the better.
