I’ve spent a few days on vacation with family. This forced me out of my regular routine in life and in the meantime I learned some stuff. I want to share it. I’m nice like that.

Don’t…

run around the pool or boat dock. It’s slippery as shit and you will fall. Mom was always right when she shouted that order.

think only putting sunscreen on your face, shoulders and chest will stop you from get too much sun on your arms and back.

make fun of having white wine poured over ice. It’s freaking hot in Texas and it’s the only way to keep it chilled.

think you can eat three hot dogs in a day and not feel fat later. Sure the hot dogs were eaten along with cake, chips, pastries and plenty of wine. But I still think it’s those tubular meat things that put me my waistline over the edge.

think you can go tubing behind the boat and not get your hair wet. Nope. Impossible. Soaking wet was the result.

take family and friends for granted. One day they won’t be here to spend time with us. Relish every moment. And tell them you love them.
