Made a list of all the Liberty University MA Online degrees and then crossed out all that had either Applied or Studies in the title. I could include all of the other iterations of a Masters degree like MS, MAT, MBA, JD etc. But I have always wanted my Curriculum Vitae to read AA, BA, MA, and PhD.

The MA list with any Applied or Studies crossed off still comes to 35 MA’s to choose from.

American Public University has about a dozen degrees I’m interested in.

Or, I could just spend my time writing….

I will keep on working on my family tree (and others) for as long as I live.

I descend from at least 15 people that served in the War of Northern Aggression and most of those served the Union.

I descend from at least 48 Patriots (so far) that served in the American Revolution and all served Southern Colonies.

I descend from at least 4 people who were in Jamestowne, Virginia and were Ancient Planters.

I have yet to successfully trace my lineage back to the Mayflower.

I descend from several Huguenots, Colonial Clergy and Colonial Tavernkeepers and Innkeepers.

I descend from 17 kings of Scotland, 20 kings of England (maybe more!) and 22 kings of France. Royal genealogy is still my favorite because Kings & Queens had such interesting lives!

My AOPA membership is current through Oct 2025, probably from buying the course Learn To Fly Course – Private Pilot Ground School from Sporty’s.

I have written an email to AOPA Medical Assistance about my disabilty and where to get the Class 3 medical exam accomplished (yes, I know that these are two different departments) and will wait for the response.

I have one hour of Pilot in Command (PIC) from 1987 at Colonel James Jabara Airport in Wichita, Kansas on a Cessna 150. The instructor took off, handed me the controls for the hour, then landed the Cessna.

Thinking about learning to fly again.

My main/daily computer is a Windows 7 machine.

I have re-installed MS Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight and two add-ons that add 12 more military aircraft to the program.

I have also installed MS Combat Flight Simulator 2: WWII Pacific Theater.

I have several Windows 10 machines and an external hard drive so I can install X-Plane as well.

I need to make a call to schedule a Class 3 Flight physical (I think) and to see if I can pass that before I go spending a lot of money.
