No. I am not really a pilot.
During our wedding, nearly 12 years ago, the minister was carefully explaining the ups and downs of marriage. He compared the more difficult aspects of wedded bliss to a storm, and that the storms must be weathered. It is the job of the pilot to use all possible knowledge and skills to get the vessel safely through the storms. There have been many storms. There have also been beautiful sunny days. I can tell you that in this metaphorical sense, I am certainly a pilot....though it would be more apt to call myself a co-pilot because my husband is truly awesome. Nope, I'm the pilot. While he is awesome, I am a control freak. I'm the pilot. :-)
