The Wright Way to Travel (for Trifecta)


Taken directly from the Trifecta site … “Forty-three years ago today, Neil Armstrong became the first person to ever walk on the moon. In celebration of Moon Day we want you to write 33 words about someone who took a giant leap. It can mean whatever you’d like, just make sure you write exactly 33 words.”

Here’s my entry. I was moved to write it while gazing out the window at the world below me, desperately trying to look away from the girl clutching a barf bag on my left.

We just reached 10, 000 feet.

Seatbelt signs off.

Laptop powered on.

Hats off to Orville and Wilbur for taking a famous leap on December 17, 1903.

Well done, boys.
