Turns out that the big thing I learned about blogging on the blackberry doesn’t actually work until I move the posts from “draft” to “published”. So that flurry mentioned below was all pending. Until now. Go little blog entries – Go!

When Half Is More Than Whole
I have learned to cut brussels sprouts in half before I steam them because otherwise they take way too long to cook and everything else is ready way sooner than they are.
Blog My Ride
Today – ok just NOW – I learned how to Blog from my BlackBerry so now I can update my lessons from the bus and I have no excuse for falling behind or for not catching up.
Stay tuned for a flurry of back-dated lessons!
Get Your Sox Tix Here
I have learned that on a non-Yankees week night with iffy weather, there are many many people selling Red Sox tickets, right outside of Fenway Park. If the Celtics or Bruins are playing the same night, this dramatically increases the number of face-value ticket sellers.
Check It Out
I learned how to use New Hampshire’s online library system to download audio books and eBooks for FREE. I learned that audio books expire on your computer but not on your mp3 player, once downloaded. If they do expire, you may have to wait if the book is “checked out”, but you get an email when it’s back and then you have a very short time to grab it off of the virtual shelf.
eBooks look like they expire on the player itself. I’ll let you know!
Legibly!
And while I’m at it, I have learned that if I don’t write these lessons down in a way that I can read them later, they are still lost to me!
Anyone know what “sevawt brdush ptem” means?
Write it!
I hope I have learned, or I am trying to learn, or I want to learn… to write stuff down! I have learned and forgotten lessons over and over. I am going to try to keep paper around so that I can just jot them down as then happen.
Tag, You’re So Not It
I have learned that if you want to make a good first impression with a new group of business customers, it;’s not a great idea to wear your cardigan inside out with the tag sticking out at the back of your neck.
Inside Outside Inside
I have learned that on a windy rainy day in the city, it’s important to hold your umbrella INTO the wind. And if you forget and it the wind whips it inside out, you can turn into the wind to flip it back. BUT you must not do this while crossing streets with crosswalks without walk lights because drivers get really mad when you step out with umbrella issues and don’t look where you are going.
When Clicking Is Not Enough
I have learned, again and again, that buying and then owning books on valuable topics doesn’t actually do anything for me unless I actually read them, too.
