Notes from a large and underpopulated state

• If you are a property manager and promise WiFi, it is important that you have the actual key for the access point.  Failing to do so, you should be able to provide something else.  Failing that, it should not fall to the renter to connect to the AP, determine the correct key, and then provide it to you.
• As you know, I love the iPhone.  I was not, however, prepared for the freak storm that popped up out of no where and fried my phone's ability to take a charge.  Luckily, a friend has a spare that she is letting me borrow.
• There is no good pizza in Maine.
• People who tell you that some place in Maine has good pizza are lying, shills for the pizza place that they mentioned, or from a place that does not have good pizza, like Boston.
• When purchasing a sweat shirt for your mother, it is important to realize that if you get her a large, you may have to return and exchange it.  I was smart enough to realize that purchasing anything that was in size "Extra Large" was a life limiting move.
• When deciding to pick up the tab for dinner, the person that you are having the most trouble with on the vacation will order the most expensive entree of the meal and only eat half of it, complaining how it was not good.
• When everyone has responsibility for shared cooking, make sure that you get the breakfast course.  People are a lot less picky when they are waking up to cooking smells.
• Left over pork chops can be turned into pulled pork with a little bit of time, a little bit of ingenuity, and securing the buy in of the two eight year olds that it is okay.
