I’m back. It was a great vacation. My 4 year old learned to swim on his own. My 2 year old learned about half the English language. My husband got nice and toasty brown. I remained white and pure as the driven snow. (Okay, 1/2 that statement is true. I will let you decide which half.) We all got to spend time with my brother and his surprisingly normal family. A rather successful vacation. The teacher in me feels compelled to report on what little tidbits I learned…even though I tried really hard not to use my brain all week.

Jetblue recycles 70% of the garbage they collect on the plane. Cool beans. (More on Jetblue tomorrow.)

Worms need supervision or they will invite every fruit fly in the neighborhood over. (Oh…and fruit flies are evil. Very evil. More on this later in the week as well.)

Bloomberg’s policies to squash public smoking rock. I forget how absolutely foul it is to have people blowing toxins all over you. Florida is filled with smokers and there are ashtrays everywhere. Yuck. Thank you Mr. Mayor! (There may be more on his anti-fat policies too…if I am feeling researchy later in the week.)

I really like my family…even my smelly brother who resides there.

Whole Foods is criminal in their pricing when they do not have competition. Their prices were about 2x as high in FL as they are in NYC. When you come to NYC to get a bargain…something is shady. Very shady.

Old people DO drive reeeeeeeallllllly sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly. And apparently enjoy themselves a little adult entertainment. Strip clubs,adult toy shops, and arthritis centers aplenty. Geriatric G-String anyone? (No more on that later in the week…I promise.)
