Things I Learned This Weekend
1. Despite thinking many women in Hollywood dress like, ahem, ladies of the night, my dad has a strange fascination with Celine Dion. Let us never speak of this again.
2. One of the most satisfying experiences is teaching a child to ride a bike sans training wheels. It is a balancing act far beyond the laws of physics--trying to get a stubborn and timid 5-year old to stick it out twice around the track, even after riding off into the bushes and steering wildly back and forth, and even being in tears a couple of times. But seeing her running in triumph back to the car, bursting to tell everyone back at the house--it made me think that kids might be worth the trouble after all. Maybe. But probably not.
3. It's possible to have a great second date that involves a three hour dinner with wine and dessert and a trip to Starbucks afterwards and then two more hours of talking and then a quick kiss goodnight--after behaving ridiculously inappropriate on the first date. Instead of it being frustrating, it's actually kind of sweet.
4. Girls have an incredible power over guys--especially guys who are a teensy bit insecure about their, ahem (again), performance. And what's even more strange is that it's all about perception...not whether a guy is actually good in bed (because wouldn't that vary from girl to girl?) but whether or not he thinks he is good in bed. It's a bizarre world to peer into, let me assure you.
