But, I really have been busy at work. It's a good kind of busy, though; I would much
rather have too much work than too little. And it has allowed me to make some interesting
observations.
First, for those of you that have never flown: one of the occurrences is a safety
lecture. This is where the flight attendants show you the exits to the plane, how to
fasten your seat belt, and how to use your seat cushion in case of "a water
landing". Well, here's a clue folks: Jet's don't LAND on water. Jet's CRASH in water.
There just isn't any such animal as a "water landing".
I've also wondered how any work ever got done before the invention of caffeine or
chocolate. It seems that most of the people I know take one (or both) of these substances
in huge amounts each day. Maybe I should suggest they start drinking chocolate flavored
coffee, and kill two birds with one stone. (Speaking of which, don't ever get any of your
non-coffee drinking friends to taste one of those specialty mixes with the phrase "it
doesn't taste like coffee". Of course it tastes like coffee; that's why they give it
the name instead of calling it hot chocolate).
I love my wife dearly, and I love being close with her and cuddling. But I really hate
waking up on a king sized bed only to discover that, throughout the night, I have somehow
been pushed into the last 4 inches of the mattress. On the bright side, we have a
waterbed. Otherwise I would probably wake up on the floor on the other side of the room.
Little kids certainly have huge lungs. It's a survival trait. Probably why they're so
darn cute as well.
Phones, cars and driving don't mix. Hang up and drive. If the call is that important
then pull over to the side of the road and continue the conversation. You'll keep a decent
connection and you'll avoid irritating me; the second part, of course, is the most
important.
Just saw a news story of a gentleman who built a pumpkin launcher. He can send pumpkins
100 feet through the air and land them in barrels. This man has way too much time on his
hands.
Don't ever be afraid to tell your parents you love them. Of course they already know,
but they really like hearing it anyway. In fact, don't be afraid of telling anyone you
care about him or her. The worst that could happen is that you surprise them by saying
something.
Men love having their back scratched. Women love having their feet rubbed. Use this
information tonight.
The most important thing you can do when a problem arises is to solve it. If you spend
your time trying to find who's to blame or, even worse, trying to blame it on someone else
when you're at fault you accomplish two things. One, you irritate the person you're
blaming. And you wind up with two problems instead of one. Neither is desirable.
For the most part I think people regret not doing things more than they regret doing
them.
I know I can consider a person a friend when I realize I don't have to be careful about
what I say to them.
Let me know what you
