Cop Out

With many important things going on around the world, I'm going to abstain from commenting on the lot of them and just mention this one thing that's pretty cool, today:

Fossett Flies for Non-Stop Record

Adventurer Steve Fossett has broken the record for the longest non-stop flight in aviation history, landing in dramatic fashion after power failure.

Fossett, 61, took the record as he flew over Shannon in Ireland. In total he has flown 26,389.3 miles around the globe since lift-off on Wednesday.

It's true that it's my not-so-secret ambition to change my title from "Senior Systems Analyst" to "Adventurer".
