This week I learned ...

• It takes three confirmations before you can feel comfortable that you have the proper address for someone

• It's more difficult to find a cheap flight from OGG to ITO than it is to fly from OGG to KOA

• It sucks when the only phone number you had for an old friend connects to an elderly lady who never heard his name before

• There's a good chance we'll get all the extra hotel rooms we need
  

• The cashiers don't measure your wood at Home Depot. (Shame on you for thinking that meant something else)

• Crate and Barrel will help you get a pile of gifts purchased there from one coast to the other

• The gap between sale and regular price at Macy's is disturbingly wide

• Indonesian food gives me gas

• Michael never rescued Walt

• I have trouble focusing if I go to the gym too late in the day

• When a Vosges Haute Chocolat catalogue arrives in the mail, you're very tempted to splurge on a four-pack of $6 exotic chocolate bars. (I've had the Red Fire Bar before and it's De-Lish!)

• It takes me a few warm up rounds before I start kicking ass at Burnout: Revenge

• Thank You For Smoking is the best satire I've seen in quite a long time

• America finds talentless redneck dudes to be less interesting than talentless redneck woman that pretend to be stupid

More next week...
