I’ve admitted my unabashed admiration for the Dallas Morning News airline reporter and columnist Terry Maxon in the past.

Today, a number of you have already sent me notes pointing me to his column from today. The nice thing about it? It has nothing to do with airlines. It has to do with life.

Terry’s daughter, an excellent writer in her own write (intended) graduated from high school this week. In honor of that occasion, Terry decided to pen a few more of his Friday “Idle Thoughts” than usual. Thirty-three of them to be exact.

Check it out. It’s a great way to end a week.
