Ten Things I Learned This Week

So, I've been tromping around NoCal and Oregon for the past week, using Amtrak to visit family. I fly home in a few hours from Portland. Here are ten things I've learned along the way.

1. Six-year-olds can have amazing, amazing singing voices. Like, seriously.
2. Cup stacking is a sport, and an after-school activity. (Yes, you'll want to watch it again to make sure it's not on fast-forward.)
3. Traveling by train is fun, but traveling by plane is much faster.
4. Absence does make the heart grow fonder. It also makes it possible to not recognize your own father in a line up.
5. Seven-year-olds can kick ass on what appear to be complicated video games.
6. Things ARE cheaper at Walmart.
7. Fourteen-year-olds today are much more knowledgeable about the world than when I was 14. At least the dark side of the world.
8. It is possible to wear the same pair of jeans for a week.
9. It doesn't take long to lose good eating habits.
10. You won't recognize your own habits, ticks, and nuances as much as you will when visiting family.
