What I Learned On the Road

Hello my dear SuperForest! I know I promised updates from the road; clearly I failed miserably. I’m sorry! As it goes, the number of hours in the day was far outweighed by the number of things I needed to accomplish. I hope you all have had a wonderful April (can you believe it’s almost May?) and to make up for my lack of sharing, here are a few things I learned on the road:

  1. It is possible to shower in 30 seconds, and to dry off with a towel the size of your hand.
  2. It is possible to eat a meal in about 90 seconds.
  3. When it’s 2 AM, you’ve been working for 16 hours, and you know you have to get up and do it all again in about 6, inside jokes make it easy to stay awake.
  4. When things go wrong, it’s better to laugh than cry. It’s better to be patient than to get mad. It’s better to find a creative solution than let it get to you.
  5. It’s hard to wake up when you’re in a bunk with no sunlight.
  6. A smile will get you everywhere.
  7. “Under Pressure” makes for the best encore.
