Rolling Luggage

A Time to Get has some great advice:

“Unless you suffer from back, knee or neck ailments, your bag weighs over 40 pounds, or you are carrying more than two pieces of luggage, pick up your carry-on bag while walking through the airport.* What is it, 100 yards MAX from check-in to gate? Your arms should strain a little when carrying luggage, you should have to switch hands while walking to the gate, the pain lets you know you’re alive and capable.

I’m tired of tripping over small bags wheeling behind men, obliviously tugging them along four feet behind them on telescopic handles. Our Grandfathers didn’t wheel ten pound bags behind them, neither should we.”

Horses and Shallow Lakes

Joshua Tuscan spills some thoughts here and they collect in a pool. I live in Seattle, btw.

I once cried because I couldn't draw a tree the way I saw it in my head. Granted, it was kindergarten, but it was a defining moment. One of my lifelong goals has been to ride a horse through a shallow lake, seriously, it's in my grade school journal. I lived in Barbados for a while where I almost lost my toe, which has stood as a metaphor in my life for that time. I watch a lot of movies and sometimes I fear that it is cutting into my ability to learn foreign languages. Oh yeah, I like to write beautiful, validated code.
