The flight not taken

I love it when my friends look out for me. The other day one of them pointed out an amazing documentary he was watching on YouTube. Have you ever heard of Lady Grace Hay Drummond Hay? For an hour full of the wonder of airships, the gumption of lady journalists, and a little heartbreak to leaven it, make yourself a cup of tea and watch as Lady Grace boards the mighty Graf Zeppelin in 1929 and becomes the first woman to circle the globe on an airship.

After watching it, I was almost ready to change my dissertation topic. But I am thinking seriously about a novel!
