There's a cute meme, "Teach your child the love of flying and they will never have money for drugs."
Flying for me is a bit like a drug, when I fly I am happy. I'm in a good mood for the rest of the day. The next day I want to go up again!
My CFI used to say I was like a kid at the amusement park, always wanting to jump back in the line the moment I got off the ride to go again and again and again.
Over 2000 flight hours and 10 years later I'm still that kid in the amusement park, wanting to go up again and again. If I can not go up I am restless and annoyed that I cannot do my favorite thing. I flew yesterday, doing an IPC with that same CFI. Today I want to go again!
