"You don't know how other people live," my brother said. He was not technically correct. We do know how other people live; we just don't live that way. We were not exactly sure what he meant. There are a lot of things we don't do like other people do-for instance, we certainly aren't stylish dressers. Most notably, since 1969, when Martha and I learned to fly-except for international destinations-we have always flown ourselves for travel. We do know that other people travel on the airlines. We just travel differently. We think flying yourself is traveling in style. That's because flying yourself is fully engaging-you are participating in life to the fullest. Our current airplane is a jet that requires two pilots. Flying it as a crew and taking turns as husband-and-wife captain and copilot is particularly engaging and rewarding for us.
