an addendum
I find it interesting that I am able to remember ideas, events, whatever more right before falling asleep than I am during the day. A few nights ago, I was thinking about the various things I learn during vacations and I came up with a number of examples, thus prompting me to write them down in this online venue. But when I finally sat down to write the post, I couldn't remember but two of them. Frustrating. So now, to alleviate my frustration, I'm writing as much as I can remember --
This Year:
Tanning decreases the prevalence of zits.
Waiting until your mid-twenties to see Godfather II should be considered a crime against humanity and prosecuted as such.
Last Year:
Though it may seem as though it will save a trip back to the hotel room, wearing a swimsuit without the mesh lining while working out on, say, the elliptical machine, is a terribly bad idea.
Bad white wine gives a bad name to the entire lot; it turns out good white wine is quite tasty.
Two Years Ago:
Once a book becomes wet, it will be several days before any attempt at reading it is feasible.
The scoring system in golf should not favor those who use the fewest strokes to complete a hole -- it should acknowledge good shots regardless of the outcome of the hole.
Three Years Ago:
Cuban cigars are everything they are purported to be.
I am lactose intolerant.
Riding a moped requires more balance than riding a bicycle for the sole reason that if a bicycle tips over, it doesn't trap your leg underneath.
When riding a moped in the rain, it is not particularly helpful to wear eye protection unless said glasses or sunglasses have built-in windshield wipers.
Coconut rum tastes like neither coconut nor rum.
