If I told you it only looks like I&#8217;ve been slacking, would you believe me? I know you won&#8217;t, but I&#8217;ll try to justify myself anyway.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m transitioning from the\u00a0walking tour\u00a0docent team\u00a0at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pimaair.org\" target=\"_blank\">Pima Air &amp; Space Museum<\/a> to the tram docent team. In my new role, I&#8217;ll be talking about approximately 100 outdoor display aircraft in an hour and ten minutes, so I have a lot to learn. I&#8217;ve been riding along on other tram docents&#8217; tours, borrowing museum golf carts and doing my own solo dry runs, and writing up notes on all the airplanes I want to talk about, or might get asked questions about, notes which already run to twelve single-spaced pages &#8230; and I&#8217;m nowhere near done.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m headed down to the museum this morning to do another dry run, and I think I&#8217;ll be ready to certify next week. With luck, the tram team will bless me and the transition will be complete.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve been busy with that. I&#8217;ve had plenty of time to study at home; Donna&#8217;s away\u00a0at a five-day sewing retreat, so it&#8217;s just me and the critters &#8230; Facebook aside, there are few distractions in my life these days.<\/p>\n<p>I have just two walking tours left to do, both Wednesdays, June 24th and July 1st. No idea what my regular tram tour day will be; that&#8217;s to be determined. Once I&#8217;m on the tram, I hope friends will come to the museum to ride with me and listen to my spiel.<\/p>\n<p>With that, it&#8217;s back to the books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poor Paul&#8217;s Thing.
