We interrupt this touching memoir to bring you my favorite news item from today. It is the confluence of male culture/pilots/the Irish/and drinking. Which may be redundant: "The pilot, Thomas Fitzpatrick, turned a barroom bet into a feat of aeronautic wonder by stealing a plane from a New Jersey airport and landing it on St. Nicholas Avenue in northern Manhattan, in front of the bar where he had been drinking." cityroom.blogs.nytimes/2013/06/04/long-ago-a-pilot-landed-on-an-uptown-street-thats-where-the-bar-was/?ref=nyregion
