Atta boy, Blu!

I've stayed in multiple different Radisson Blu's and they all use the same shampoo bottles. I've never liked the bottles as I found the tops poorly designed. There were two tops, one under the other. If you pried it off to use it, either the first top came off and you could squeeze the shampoo through a hole or both lids came off. Finally, after about 30 nights staying in these hotels, I figured it out. You twist the lid and the shampoo comes through a small hole in the outer lid. This thing is ingenious! I don't know whether to credit Radisson with the design or my amazing engineering skills for figuring out how to open it!

Reading Rainbow

A few nights ago, my wife and I were watching old videos of shows from when we were young. One of those was Reading Rainbow.



I recently delayed starting to read a book because I would finish it too soon. The book, Adrift: 76 Days Lost At Sea by Steven Callahan, promises to be a great read. But if I were to start it, it would come to an end. An adventure begun would come to an end. I would know the outcome and the suspense would pass.

When you read a book, take your time, don't rush. If you do, the book will end soon and the only thing to do is to start another.
